Don't bother asking the doctor for another laxative if you keep taking the Philips caps and magnesium citrate. You are not constipated if you are going to the bathroom every day. It is pointless for you to take the Linzess, or another prescription laxative, because you are not giving it an opportunity to work and keep taking OTC laxatives instead.

Linzess is an IBS med that is also supposed to "help calm pain-sensing nerves" in the intestines, but it may not work that way because you are taking so much OTC stuff... Your abdominal discomfort is probably not because you can't poop because you are pooping almost every day, Bobby.

For trapped gas, I take Gas-X after I eat and before I go to bed. It can help, but not once the gas is already in your intestines.
