Thank. you so much for the reply. I'll wait until taking the mid-dose linzess for one month and if still no results I will ask my GI to up the dosage. I will also add your regimen with lemon etc right now! It's unbelievable what we go through. I went through Triple Negative Breast Cancer Stage 3c not long ago - doing very well now and decided to finally try to kick constipations butt like I did cancer! I think the constipation might be more stubborn after all. Regardless of the constipation, I am grateful to be alive each day and make a point of finding joy every day - I count e-meeting you one of those joys. Thanks again.

I was diagnosed with an elongated colon, two feet longer than normal. I am 67, never experienced any problems until 7 months ago. Supposedly the condition is congenital- who knows? My initial GI wanted me evaluated for resection surgery - I told him, No Thanks. Now trying to manage on my own. But do have appt with new GI in a week. Fingers crossed! Please take care!
