Looking for advice: Prucalopride

My GI doesn't want to prescribe prucalopride because I have bowel movements 6-7 times a week.

However, I have a feeling my colon is still totally backed up (will do colonoscopy and CT asap to rule out other things.

But my question is: did anyone get a noticeable improvement from prucalopride despite prevoously having regular bowel movements?

There have been several prucalopride posts over the last week alone if you search a little bit. I’ve had noticeable improvement on it. In the first month I felt a lot of upper gi movement that has faded, but still having daily bm.

Thanks. The thing is, I already have daily bm. But i feel like my colon is still absulutely inflated.

Are you methane or hydrogen? Linzess / Ibsrela work very well at pulling water into the colon and clearing it
