Constipation, Chronic
"I have had chronic constipation since I was a baby!  I remember having to take suppositories as a kid, not going to the bathroom for 2-3 weeks and getting very ill and needing an emema.  I took Zelnorm for a few months before it was pulled from the market, that was an amazing drug. It made me feel wonderful and I would empty completely every day.  I always have 8 enemas under my sink at all times. My GI doctor doesn&#039;t like that I take them but if I don&#039;t I will be in the hospital!  I took Linzess this morning at 6 am on an empty stomach, waited about 1 1/2 hours before I ate breakfast, 2 pm I ate a light lunch and I have yet to have a bowel movement.  Well, today is day one.  I will come back and update this or add a new note tomorrow."
