At the risk of boring everyone to death, I am reviving this thread.

My constipation has gotten worse. Nothing is moving. This week, my gastroenterologist gave me a sample of Linzess (linaclotide), which I have not tried yet. On Monday, I am seeing a new gastroenterologist.

Since I started this thread, I tried and had great success with triphala, but that stopped working for me.

This is a strange condition. Nothing short of an episode of mild food poisoning will get me going. If the cause turned out to be neurological, that would make some sense, but it's just a guess. Also, my gastro. ent. said that sometimes with age the colon/interines get very "relaxed," lose tone, appear very long, etc.

All thoughts welcome on this.

Thanks!
