Thank you very much, Dr. Siebecker. Your presentation validates what I am already doing to manage my post infectious ibs. The prokinetic agent prucalopride works well for me to stimulate motility. Not so much for bloating though. The laxatives that you mentioned work well. Once a week I use senna tea. Yesterday I used the magnesium oxide and sodium phosphate in preparation for my colonoscopy that took place today. It does clean out your gi tract! But I won't recommend this stuff for regular usage. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Best wishes, Reimara valk
