Irritable Bowel Syndrome
"Linzess has been extremely helpful for my constipation. I am able to go every day now, sometimes more then once. My only two complaints are the diarrhea and weight gain. I am a bit of a gym addict and go at least 5 times per week, running and weight lifting. I have a very healthy diet around 1300 calories a day, high protein and fiber, low fat, low carb and low sugar. Since I have been on Linzess (4 weeks consistantly), I have gained 7lbs. I believe I am retaining water despite being able to go to the bathroom often. This is the only drug that has worked to alleviate the constipation and I have tried MANY! However, I am not happy about the bloating and weight gain."
