Hello, I like so many have tried it all. What i have found terribly frustrating is that nothing lasts at all. I have tried medication, acupuncture, herbal options that a tuakky did work until they stopped. Adding more with the hope of stimulating a bowel movement produced horrible cramping then diarrhea. Horrible as it sounds I welcomed anything at that point to feel something was moving. The latest was trying mag citrate and that too stopped after 2 days. Upon adding more i felt like i had a cement block in my abdomen. So i stopped. I have come to believe that this is a run around with no real answer. My frustration is that things work then they do not.

I have been treated for pelvic floor and when I look at the expense that hope has generated it is unaffordable. Yes! I too have had tears, anxiety, sadness and this is no way to live.

I have altered my food over and over again. However when i learn of the things that constipate me I know it is not in my mind.

When I read about Ibsrela I was intrigued about how it differed from other medications and does it stimulate a bowel movement. I find myself straining and it causes back pain when I find myself staining.

Look forward to hearing back!
