Constipation, Chronic
"Ive battled constipation for the past 16 years.  Ive tried every remedy you can think of and have gone through every OTC product recommended.  Probiotics and yogurt have been no help either.  I finally found relief with Linzess.  I currently take the lower dose along with an OTC stool softener per my doctors instructions.  Linzess works best on an empty stomach but watch out.  You&#039;ll want to stay near a restroom for the first 2 hours after taking it as diarrhea is an obvious side effect.  Accidents are a possibility if you&#039;re not mindful of the medication.  Ive been told that the diarrhea subsides after a while of taking Linzess but only time will tell."
