Replies to "Movantik and/or Linzess might help."
Movantik is for constipation caused by opiate pain killers. Relistor is another drug in this category but very expensive.
Motegrity is a stimulant for the intestines, also an Rx, also expensive. My results with it are meh.
My gastroenterologist prescribed Linzess, but my insurance required me to try Lubiprostone first. So, I’m taking 2 of those per day, in addition to the Magnesium supplement, Metamucil, Miralax, ample veggies, water, healthy fats, exercise, toilet stool, etc, I read a lot about Linzess, but most reviews are more positive about Lubiprostone. Go figure. I will check out Movantik. Thanks.
