It works, but after I go to the bathroom and the constipation is relieved, then I hurt and ache the rest of the day.

Kimby (Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS))

I take the one with a stimulant in it, it takes a couple of days, but it works without side effects. The regular also works if you take it daily.

I've used this during the constipation phase. Takes a few days to kick in. No side effects. Use is temporary.
