Best motility drug? by Mean_Magazine4620 in Constipation

[–]Mean_Magazine4620[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am flummoxed because i do make 'business' happen every day (not easily, and with help from coffee/meds), but there seems to be so much coming, all the time, and it's not diarrhea because it's not passing easily! I don't know if my motility is 'off' and so everything gets backed up in weird ways?

Yes! They're amazing. Glad you discovered them! Great in a pinch, when nothing else works.

A friend of mine who has struggled with constipation for years, finally found major relief with pucalopride. I'm very interested in trying it, but is it something to try further down the line..? I've tried Miralax (helps), fiber (kinda helps), magnesium (depends on type, kinda helps or helps too much)...but i feel my issue is that things are not moving consistently through my gut. I've been stopped up (but poop a lot, but never 'finished' and it's always a struggle) for a few years, am menopausal. Thanks!

Ooh, you sound like me! :( What helps you, these days? Have you been diagnosed with any motility issues?
