Anyone Else Experience Sweating In Their Butt Crack Before A BM?
It starts a few minutes before a BM and continues until the BM happens. Afterwards im back to normal. Does this happen to anyone else? Do you know if its a normal ibs symptom?
Yes. That has happend to me also. Once I started taking Linzess it has mostly gone away.
Medication
Hi everyone I’m getting depressed lately. My Dr.has started me on high blood pressure medication. And my bowels only function once every two weeks I’m tired and get sleepless nights. Does anyone take high blood pressure medication that does not constipate them?
Thank you

Constipation Help. Linzess Doesn’t Always Help
How Many Of You Have Pain Every Day?
I wouldn't say I have a flare up everyday or extreme pain, but I definitely do have abdominal discomfort at least 6/7 days of the week. I'm new to this diagnosis and am just trying to figure out what is common/normal for this.
Any information/testimonies would be great
I have pain pretty well everyday but when it is really bad I have to stay in bed.
What Helps You With Constipation.
I use Miralax every night sometimes twice a day, and it has saved me! What helps you with constipation?
I do two things, Natural Calm (magnesium citrate) taken twice daily. Then I have been trying a new fiber called Pinch Magic fiber.. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, that is imperative!
Linzess
Is Linzess one of the best treatments for IBS?
Miracle drug for IBS-C ! I feel better than ever and I'm almost seventy.
Has Anyone Had Success With Linzess?
Linzess has been a miracle drug for me. I never realized how much better a "normal" person feels ! I've been able to swim laps & I'm almost 70 yrs old!
What To Take For IBS That Works
Many thanks for your suggestion☺️
Linzess
I had started to take Linzess ... diarrhea for approx 2 weeks took Imodium (1 dosage) while still taking Linzess ... no diarrhea. Since then I’m constipated - I did a couple days Miralax. (Still on Linzess). Still not have regular bowel movements/constipation. Is this common with Linzess plus IBS?????
I tried that one day and now I am just writing down when I do. I take a stool softner too.gluten free helped me a hew years ago. I lose 20 lbs.
