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?????

Preservatives and DYES! Yes. Also, make sure with ibs-d to eat more soluble fiber, never eat insoluble fiber foods alone. I also take citrucil, cultures and florastor.

How Many Of You Have Pain Every Day?
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

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
