Chronic constipation alternatives

I use Senokot which isnt the best choice I do get cramping but not that excessive bloating (looked pregnant and I am thin) and in terms of emptying bowel, works better for me (& other side effects)which never seemed to end. I have a script for plenacatide ($ 200 for 20 pills here in Canada) but had such a bad experience with Linzess which is called Constella here and they are same family of drugs...so many people on this site recommend magnesium but I have an arrythmia and long term mag use not a good idea for me. My problem became significantly worse after beginning Prolia injections for osteoporosis. Sorry not a big help, but try the senokot occasionally and see.

Are you still taking the Prolia injections ? I've been getting them for at least five years or more for steroid related osteoporosis. Now I'm beginning to wonder if the Prolia has screwed me up. I have chronic, every day is a battle, constipation.
I've had Crohn's disease for many years, and like most people, loose bm's were my main problem. Then at some point it started morphing into constipation and here I am. I missed my last shot that was due in late December and am now wondering if I should just stay off......
