I am in the U.S. and have had minimal success with the medication Linzess. I still have had to use MiraLax and a tap-water enema 1x per month. Now, I am pregnant and have had to use an enema 1x per week, with Linzess and MiraLax nearly not working at all. I have had many GI studies in the past, have slow colonic motility and was diagnosed with IBS-C. I was able to use the drug Resolor for a short period of time a few years ago, which was like a cure for me! However, it is not FDA approved in the U.S. and is thus too expensive to continue. I would use it for the remainder of my pregnancy, but it is not recommended to be used during pregnancy. Anyone out there have had similar issues and have had better success with another drug?
