Constipation, Chronic
"I have been on 145 MG of Linzess for 5 days now. I technically have idiopathic chronic constipation. But it&#039;s caused by a basketball sized hernia. I have to wear an abdominal binder for support and that causes the constipation. Because of the hernia I have no muscular stomach wall. Sternum to pelvic bone and almost 10 inches wide. So on top of constipation, I have little to nothing to push it out with. What a conundrum, huh! 

Well when I take a dose I feel the need to go after about 1 1/2 hrs. But....it&#039;s minimal. Just enuf to say I&#039;m here but I&#039;m not come g out yet. Hopefully I get some real relief soon and become regular soon as well!"
