Constipation
"I have gastroperesis and rarely have a bowel movement on my own. I&#039;ve gone 3 weeks easily without a bowel movement. It&#039;s to the point that when I do go on my own, we know that I am severely constipated and that it HAS to come out. (Abdominal xrays continuously show I&#039;m backed up, even after going). Miralax is not a &quot;miracle medicine&quot; for me. It works, but only after a few days time. However, considering that typical laxatives only cause me gas and bloating, but no relief, I can&#039;t really complain. Magnesium citrate, Linzess, Reglan, Amitiza have all failed me. This is the only relief that I can ever get."
