Constipation, Chronic
"At the age of 30 I started having severe constipation but have had mild constipation since I was 16.  I was on Zelnorm with some success but find the Amitiza to be working for me with great success, a bowel movement everyday, which was rare for me.  I find I have to maintain a healthy diet, yogurt in the morning(a must), and drink lots of water.  I also take a probiotic pill OTC everyday to help with my extremely sensitive stomach.  Things are in good order now for my stomach and constipation.  The cost of Amitiza without insurance is $200 per month and with insurance I pay $50.  Some minor side effects include immediate need to use the restroom and headaches.  This medicine is successful for me."
