Constipation
"I started  Linzess 290 after I had surgery for an anal abscess which resulted in an anal fistula.  I was told I had an infected anal gland which could have been caused by blocked stool due to prolonged constipation.  It is very important that I keep from being constipated as this condition could occur again.  I am worried about the explosive diarrhea that happens every morning for about an hour.  I wonder how this constant diarrhea affects the colon.  If I skip a day I do not have a BM but I think I need to give my colon a rest every other day.  Hoping once I have been on Linzess for awhile the diarrhea will subside."
