This medication is one of my last resorts to deal with the pain. It's been working well so far. I missed one day of the medication and I was doubled over in pain. With respect to the blood. It's from the diverticulosis bleeding. He believes anyways. If I don't improve enough the doctor is wanting to do a CT scan next month when I have a follow up visit. I haven't had any bleeding since starting the medication.

It's really been a lot to consider. Control the IBS-C with a short term medication or chance more bleeding and possible infection with the diverticulosis.
