IBS-C how to handle constipation
How do you handle IBS-C? I take Miralax day and night and try to eat enough fiber but it seems no matter what I eat I have constipation. Has anyone tried Linzess and if so does it work?
I tried linzess a few years ago and it caused severe diarrhea episodes for me. (The product mentions this on the label). I then tried 1/2 the dosage to no avail. After that I ceased using it.
I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work for you. Have you found another remedy or medication that works better?

I'm so sorry you're dealing with constant constipation.
Regarding Linzess, we have this forum with lost of comments from different community members: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/forums/linzess-prescription, as well as this one: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/forums/linzess-for-ibs-c. I hope this helps.
I assume you have already tried all the foods recommended for constipation, but I wanted to share these two articles: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/food/constipation-food-tips, https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/food/meals-constipation, just in case there's something in there you might not have tested yet.
