Linzess vs Myralax or both I can't win?

[PenelopeAnn]

Myralax alone quit working and I was dealing with some serious going to the ER constipation. Very embarrassing as I know the radiology tech at our local hospital. I was put on Linzess with the Myralax. At first it was heaven then the diarrhea came. I am talking, at work, not making it to the toilet diarrhea watery diarrhea. So they say stop taking the Myralax for a week even after I already said I tried that and I hadn't gone in 3 days. I am not about to wait until day 10 to call and tell them what I already know and am forced to wear urinary incontinence pads and secretly planting extra clothes and wipes in the bathrooms at work. :(
A long time ago I was put on Amitiza but I can't remember why I quit taking it. The gastroenterologist prescribed it. I wish I could remember if it was side effects. I think it was cost. That was years ago. I suggested trying that again but nope. My medical doctor said cut the Myralax. Anyone have a better solution? I take the Linzess as prescribed - empty stomach, eat at least 30 min later, plenty of water.

Oh my gosh, quite the ringer you have been through.  Have you ever heard of botox injections to the gut?  Something a friend's son with a similar history has undergone and has helped.
