Absolutely love it! I try to go at least twice a week. I can feel awful before and always feel good afterwards. And, as others have said, they other boxers are so welcoming and happy to help.

I’m so glad some of you have found things that work. I had constipation for 50 years. I’ve found somethings that have worked for a short time and then stopped. Common laxatives like senacot, Miralax , Metamucil work for a week or so and give me awful cramping and pain. New doctor has tried Linzess and IBSrela which only caused pain no benefit. Prunes, water other dietary changes have made no difference. Oh well, I’ve lived with it this long I guess it won’t kill me.

Like Marlene, I have fibromyalgia so I’m not sure which amuses what. But here we go
constipation (IBS-C). Started 50 years before diagnosis
Insane amount of fatigue and sleep problems
full body tremors
sweating I can be sitting still doing nothing and be completely covered in sweat in minutes.
gait-balance issues
weight loss
dry eyes
oh yeah memory issues especially short term memory
that’s all I can think of but there’s probably more

It never occurred to me that I should dress differently for appointments. I wear the same stretchy pants or shorts, a t shirt and sandals. I also fly in them and lie about the house in them. I’ve become one of those “old” ladies in my pull on pants. However they’re the only thing that doesn’t hurt my abdomen when the constipation gets really painful.

Definitely, I sweat so much and now taking Sinemet my stench smells different .

Yes. My GI doctor had me to a cleanse as if I was going to have a colonoscopy, then start taking Linzess. The literature says it takes about 6 weeks to be working at full strength. It did nothing for me. I was pooping less, the stools were. still rock hard balls. I stopped taking it and my bowel function has improved- same composition but more frequent. I hope you have a better result.
