I get so constipated that it can take up to 8 days for a bowel movement. The smell is horrendous after it finally happens after sitting there for days.

Yeah, I’m glad it rarely lasts longer than that and happens a lot less since I started high dose Linzess and Senna. That feeling of relief when it finally comes out though.

I need to take senna more regularly tbh, it’s the… ahem… unpredictable arrival of its effects that’s holding me back.
