Constipation, Chronic
"I&#039;ve been taking Linzess a little over a month now for chronic constipation. I used to have a bowel movement about twice a month. And it was like that for at least 10 years. I was taking Miralax and Phillip&#039;s milk of magnesia and magnesium oxide daily.  Now I go almost everyday. I&#039;m noticing a little water retention, but as long as it doesn&#039;t get bad I&#039;m not worried about it. I gained soo much weight from not going to the bathroom and am now in the process of bariatric surgery. It should happen in about 4 more months. But I&#039;m weighed regularly because of it and I am still losing weight like I&#039;m supposed to. So as long as that continues I&#039;ll keep taking it for sure!"
