I have been suffering from severe chronic constipation, stomach pain, and bloating. My test results are normal, but prescribed laxatives like Pegalup and Movicol are not working; what alternative medicines can I take to clear my bowels and relieve the gas?

Since osmotic laxatives like Pegalup and Movicol are ineffective despite normal test results, you may have Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) or pelvic floor dysfunction. Please consult your doctor about these prescription alternatives: Secretagogues/Prokinetics: Medications like Linaclotide or Lubiprostone increase intestinal fluid to ease bowel movements and reduce pain. Prucalopride can help stimulate bowel motility. Gas and Pain Relief: Simethicone helps break down gas bubbles to relieve bloating, while mild antispasmodics can reduce stomach cramps.\n3. Probiotics: High-quality probiotics may help regulate gut flora. Do not start these prescription medications without your doctor's guidance.
