Irritable Bowel Syndrome
"I&#039;ve been taking 8mcg Amitiza twice a day, for two months, to treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Finally! A Dr. who actually listened to me and provided a solution instead of blaming me for the GI/bowel problems. (i.e., &quot;You need more fiber,&quot; &quot;It&#039;s your nerves,&quot; or &quot;It&#039;s caused by the NSAIDS you take.&quot;). Almost 40 years of daily chronic painful bloating, constipation &amp; pain under my left ribcage is almost gone, (I&#039;m 50.) 
It did take a few weeks to adjust to it. By that, I mean: 1.) Discovering that taking Fiber Supplements with the prescription caused painful gas/bloating, 2.) Determining exactly how much food/drink to ingest with each dose, to avoid gas/bloating or a headache &amp; 3.) Remembering to take it with a meal. 
I&#039;d give it a 10 if there was 0 bloating and no headaches."
