Thank you for the information, Sally. And good luck to you. Presently I'm taking Prunelax, 2 colace and 400 mg of magnesium at bedtime. I get up early and take prune juice with coconut oil, Linzess and a big cup of coffee. In about an hour, (usually) things start moving. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the house until at least noon. This is probably overkill, but every time I experiment ( and we're all just a science experiment, aren't we ?) it throws everything off. And like you if I don't go every day, I'm in big trouble.

Yes, every day is an ongoing experiment for me, constantly tweaking up and down, trying to find that perfect combination. And dealing with drs is sooo frustrating. Called mine this week and thought his nurse understood my questions and what I was experiencing. Boy was I wrong! Somehow she took what happened after I took two Dulcolax after 6 days of no BM’s and conveyed it to the dr as watery diarrhea. He in turn said it was probably overflow. Seriously! I was in the BR for 8 hrs! I wish you could message them directly because now his advice is not accurate. So frustrating!
So I’m back to trying to figure this thing out on my own once again.
