I just met with my surgeon earlier today, and he wants me to do the colon prep purge to clean me out. I take linzess during these episodes, in fact last week I had a CT scan done in advance of this appointment, and it still showed me backed up with stool after having gone 6-7 times that day after having taken Linzess. Surgeon said that this means I have some stubborn stool that the linzess can't seem to purge. I hope this does something. If still not seeing relief, I go back to start the process of seeing if anything internally is being obstructed, like scar tissue build up.

Thanks for your reply, probably should start doing something like this to be preventative.

So, what tests did you have done? I tried the colonoscopy regimen this weekend and it didn't help if only for a few hours. this was after being on the toilet a dozen times doing you know what. Linzess isn't working this time as it usually has in the past. Getting concerned because I feel so packed in and am not eating much of anything right now. I have had many ERCP's as well and am thinking the nerves that assist motility may be not functioning as they should. Any insights here?
