Constipation, Chronic
"I&#039;m 23 years old. Have been constipated my entire life.. but didn&#039;t really realize it wasn&#039;t normal until the past couple years. I started Linzess about 3 weeks ago. The first 2 days I HATED it. I felt like I needed to be near a bathroom at all times.. my body then started to regulate it after the first week. I take it 30 min before my protein shake every morning and get my relief before I head into work. Some days it affect me more than others.. but i go at least once a day now. The only downside of it is I have to plan my first part of the morning around taking this medicine.. but it&#039;s better than walking around with a bloated belly and brick in my stomach all day!"
