Constipation, Chronic
"I&#039;ve been chronically constipated since I was 5 (I&#039;m in my early 20&#039;s now). I always went to Doctors, who kept saying over and over &quot;fiber and water.&quot; Prune juice and normal laxatives (not stimulant laxatives) would have little to no effect on me. Amitiza makes me feel normal, and for the first time I can ever remember, I don&#039;t dread when I have to do a bowel movement. It&#039;s painless! I&#039;ve solved this taboo problem that I have suffered with for my entire life! Its a great feeling to have relief now. I do get nausea and a headache if I take it without a moderate sized meal. I also get cramps and explosive diarrhea if I take it and then eat a lot of dairy, like a milkshake (I&#039;m not lactose intolerant though). Despite this, I love this medicine!"
