I took two a couple nights ago and it was actually okay. But like you, I typically only use 1.Peevee said:

I read some people take one and then kind of adjust how much based on how they’re feeling. I took one a few nights and didn’t see much then took two and it sure “clensed” me right out. I could have had a colonoscopy and been clean as a whistleYoYoFat said:
Yeah, the “slow down” comes and goes, so there are nights I don’t take it at all. I adjust as needed.Peevee said:
Amitiza... I've posted elsewhere. It's not a prn Rx ( daily med), but I take it in cycles month on, month off and it works. Have to drink water constantly of course. I've always had the issue, but definitely worse on Tz. I can't live w/o my Amitiza.
It takes active effort to maintain a healthy microbiome for me on just 5mg/w.Nikki nik said:
- Adequate hydration (5L/d)
- Lactase 22k (for lactose digestion)
- Actimel 2x per day (l-casei)
- Kefir +100ml per day
- Psylium husk (+7g a day)
- Chia seeds (2-5g a day)
Also:
- Abdominal massage
- Up down the stairs or running
And even still I struggle from time to time if I get lazy.
My impression is a few weeks of consistent pro/prebiotic intake as such, plus enough hydration, will help by making enough short chain fatty acids in the gut helping to run more smoothly.
Just be aware:
A serving of five prunes contains 17 grams of sugar.
Most dried fruit has heavy sugar content if you are monitoring your carb intake.
Also, Mag 07 doesn't work that great for me. May work for you.

Thank you! I wasn't aware of the extra sugar. I ordered the dry prunes mentioned earlier but prunes from the fruits and vegetables section would probably be the most healthier way to go. Toss it right in a smoothie....Key-Baby314 said:
I was not that regular before tirz and then on it was worse, but I eat lower carb now so that is likely why. I use two kinds of supplements (mag 07 and enzymes) as well as probiotics and it doesn't do that much more. I did notice when I stacked with a small dose of reta things started softening and happening.Nikki nik said:
Celery juice is very cleansing, in a pinch. You can get a small bottle at Trader Joe's under the Suja brand, but only try half a bottle the first time and prepare for response soon afterwards.
I’m a bit backed up right now so will max dose Mag07 this evening then hit the office toilet on a Saturday (on a floor where I don’t work).
It’s too cold to do the “bag-in-a-bucket” outside and I’m not a fan of plunging a toilet.

Thanks! There's a Trader Joe's close by! I'll just make a file cabinet of these productsKey-Baby314 said:
this is ridiculous....I was never a frequent goer.
Yup, I read the label. Still within my calories for the day and with the daily banana it is about the only sugar I eat. At least it isn't processed sugar. I am also not T2D.Key-Baby314 said:

I'll try these too
I’m frustrated because I’ve had IBS-D for 25 years and a “nervous stomach” before that. Nothing helped except prescription antidiarrheals. Tirz knocked me for a LOOP- I swear I didn’t go for days. Finally got cleared out, was having no issues on a half cap of miralax daily in my protein shake. Suddenly it stopped working 10 days ago. Upped miralax to a full cap.. next day tried 2..then 3… added senna-s, 2 tabs. That started things moving, but I’m still having issues. I’ll try adding magnesium at night, but holy heck!?! After 25 years praying to stop, now I’m begging to take it back at least partway. This shit is no fun.
