Constipation is infrequent bowel movements, small hard and/or hard to to pass stool. It can be caused by using excessive amounts of laxatives, like the 6 Phillips caps you have been taking. They usually say having a bowel movement anywhere from three times a day to three times a week is considered normal.

There is nothing wrong with taking the Linzess today, Bobby. I would not take it tomorrow morning, if that is the day of the colonoscopy, tho.

I hope that the prep goes well for you. Stay well hydrated, water or Gatorade are best

I REALLY hope that you are less depressed and anxious once this ordeal is over, and that they find nothing wrong (((HUGS)))
