that's too bad motegrity didn't help you and that it gave you such bad side effects.
yes, zelnorm was removed from the market a while ago and now it's back and is considered to be safe to take unless you have cardiac isssues. it worked fairly well for me with no side effects.
yes, you should give ibsrela a try. it's fairly new and i haven't heard anything more about it.
both linzess and trulance have coupons available. maybe they will help you with with the cost:

https://www.trulance.com/savings
your doctor could give you samples of trulance to try. if it helps, he can send a prior authorization to your insurance compnay and they might agree to cover it because of the prior auth. that's what my doctor did for me with linzess. my insurance wouldn't cover it until my doc sent in the prior auth. i was lucky; my copay for linzess was only $30.00.
yes, linzess and trulance are relatively similar but i've read a few posts from people on another board that i read that said that trulance worked better for them than linzess. it's worth a try.
oh yes, the ducolax/MOM combo worked well for me---it was as effective as zelnorm. if you try this combo, just make sure and take them at least an hour apart or you'll get cramping.
my gastro docs told me that dulcolax was safe to take and would not cause dependence.
