I am sure that I am not the only person on here that has IBS-C related to Fibro. My doctor has put me on a new medication called Amitiza and it is helping. There have been weeks on end when I could not "go." I was on perscription Mirilax and then when it went OTC I could no longer afford it. An other laxatives are out of the question related to my hx of abuse....Anyway the AMITIZA is helping. I just started taking it on Friday and I have "gone" 2x and feel so much less like lead related to this "area" of my symptoms...

NICOL, I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL, I HAVE SCAR TISSUE WRAPPED AROUND MY SMALL COLON AND I TOOK THE MEDS YOU ARE ON RIGHT NOW BUT THEY DIDN'T WORK FOR ME, I'M NOW ON A SYRUP NAMED ENULOSE THAT I TAKE 3 X DAILY, I MIX IT WITH 1/4 CUP OF JUICE B/C IT IS SO SWEET AND THICK, AND THAT WORKS GREAT FOR ME, I'VE DONE EVERY KIND OF TX FOR THIS BUT JUST HAVE TO LIVE WWITH IT. THEY SAY IF YOU HAVE SURGERY , IT WILL GET WORSE B/C THE TISSUE WILL GROW BACK AND BE WORSE THAT THE LAST TIME. I FOUND ONE SITE THAT TALKED ABOUT IT AND AFTER I READ SOME OF THIER SSTORIES, I KNOW FOR SURE THAT I WILL NEVER HAVE ELECTIVE SURGERY ON IT. IF YOUR MEDS EVER WEAR OUT, THIS SYRUP IS GOOD TO GO TO.....LOVE...HELEN

After many years of trying every possible aid for constipation, I have finally discovered the answer. I take magnesium citrate 250mg which can be found in any health food store. I take one at lunch and 2 at supper. This can be adjusted to individual needs. It helps to bring moisture into the intestines so they don't clog up. It's miraculous and a non-drug. I just can't believe how well it works, and on friends who have tried it too. How's that doctors don't tell you about this? And there are no side effects and it's cheap. Hope you can give it a try.

Hi Nicole,
I'm glad you found something that is helping. I have been doing better on Berry Green. I get it at the health food store and it has probiotics in it. I think probiotics are helping so with IBS Between the yogurt types or buying supplements. Good News, Hugs, Keleee :)
