I am taking nortriptyline, used to take amitriptyline (more constipating) and am still adjusting. I have IBS-D & C. I also take a daily probiotic and use some benefiber. It’s a balancing act, but I also struggle with mornings! It’s a journey!

You mentioned you struggle in the mornings. Do you drink coffee? I have 1 cup of coffee in the morning with a little milk and not sure I would want to get out of bed if I can't have a cup of coffee first thing! I know caffeine can increase gut motility but wondering if others can drink coffee?

You stated quite well that, "It's a balancing act..." which is so true. Unfortunately, there is no one balancing act that fits everyone's situation. We basically deal with this disorder through trial and error.
I must admit it would be nice to have a formula, but everyone is very different.
