I am 64 and have made a decision to retire from my job because I can't continue to try and work around my problems with severe constipation. I have had this problem for decades and am really worn down. I just went to the gastro doc yesterday because I haven't been able to poop for over two weeks. Hemorrhoids are also out of control which comes with it. She instructed me to go home and immediately drink two bottles of magnesium citrate which I did. Yesterday and today have been pretty unpleasant. She explained that the gut brain connection was not there, and this was part of the problem. I've tried other meds but this time she gave me IBSRELA 50 mg to start tomorrow. I'm hoping and praying for relief so I can take my life back.

I understand, and I’m very sorry about your job. I too hope the new medicine makes all the difference for you. One day at a time. God bless you ❤️
