Constipation, Chronic
"I&#039;ve had stomach issues for most of my life (I&#039;m 41) and have tried &quot;everything,&quot; with no reliable consistency. I&#039;ve tried the OTC medicines, Miralax worked for some time then stopped. Suppositories once a week had become my only source of bowel motions. I took Amitiza for 6 weeks, with no positive results.
I took 2 doses of Linzess and Boy! I spent the next 6  hours in the bathroom. Not fun. I even had to step out, mid-shower, conditioner in my hair, to use the bathroom more! And cramps, oh the cramps. This is my 2nd week with the samples my Dr. gave me. I took a pill yesterday...and the same cramps and episode occurred. Didn&#039;t last as long but hurt as much. I am sore this morning; my stomach hurts. I will continue with Linzess, it works."
