Experiences with

Linaclotide

I started taking Linaclotide (L) last Friday. I'm more IBS-D than C but if I get blocked up it causes me so many problems so I try to stay loose. I found that after a few days I was getting very bubbly guts, with a lot of wind and by the end of the next day very watery (and windy) diarrhoea.

Do Prucalopride/Linaclotide stop excess gas and is one month on bisacodyl excessive please. Any experiences you have had in similar circumstances would be greatly appreciated.

GP can't prescribe me linaclotide: blocked due to a record of IBD (i.e. Crohn's that I have/had -no physical signs, long story). So I get the P and a followup visit to see if that works and maybe a GE consult for the L if it doesn't.

Je tente Linaclotide, qui a des retours ? Je souffre après chaque repas et je suis d ailleurs en sous poids. Intolérances alimentaires dans tous les sens. Constipation et ballonnements. Mais l inconfort m est bien égal après toutes ces années. Mon ennemi : la douleur !

When I start the linaclotide I'll stop the laxido but was planning on continuing with the optifibre. If anyone has experience with linaclotide any and all feedback and information would be massively appreciated. Thanks for reading, John.

Lower dosages than 290mcg linaclotide (145mcg and 72mcg) for chronic constipation have already been approved by the FDA in the USA.

Based on available evidence, the panel made strong recommendations for the use of polyethylene glycol, sodium picosulfate, linaclotide, plecanatide, and prucalopride for CIC in adults. Conditional recommendations were made for the use of fiber, lactulose, senna, magnesium oxide, and lubiprostone.

My doctor is convinced that Pregablin alongside linaclotide will do the trick. Does anybody else have any experience with Pregablin for IBSc?

The benefits and cautions of new pharmacological agents (such as lubiprostone and linaclotide) and conventional laxatives have been described through a meta-analysis.

hi everyone hope you’re all enjoying the Easter break- I’m just looking for some advice - I have had slow transit constipation and IBS/C for many years and recently prescribed Linaclotide which I’ve been taking for a few weeks all this seems to have done is caused severe bloating but not helped with

ive been prescribed linaclotide for my slow bowel transit and IBS C, anybody had any experience with this? Haven't taken it yet, does it help with pain?

Oh, and also Linaclotide which can only be prescribed. Thank you.

Anyway, my question is to those here who take, or have taken Linaclotide: have any of you experienced strange bruising? I seem to have a lot more bruising than usual.

How effective is linclotide for severe constipation and will GPs prescribe it?

Prior to bedtime around 11:00pm, I have 30 drops of ginger extract in a little water to aid motility, take another 200mg calcium citrate with 2.5mcg vitamin D capsule and Linaclotide which is for IBS-C with visceral hypersensitivity.

I went from needed 1 movicol a day, to needing 6 movicol, multiple different stimulants, and finding older medicines like linaclotide, milk of magnesia or senna don't work. An x-ray showed nothing, so not cancer. It's so bad that my next step is to request to be fitted with a stoma bag.

I have slow transit constipation and IBS and am currently prescribed Resolor, Linaclotide and Dulcolax. I have tried Probio7 Advanced for the past year but that didn’t seem helpful. The other medications are somewhat effective although I still suffer with constipation and bloating.

He referred me to go and get an ultrasound and to take linaclotide for my constipation. I am so nervous about this ultrasound for a tumour or something like that. I have never been so nervous. Also am getting blood work done this afternoon.

Been diagnosed with IBS C since december 2019... been on linaclotide everyday since, the pain side of it has been fab as I very rarely unless I am due on my period get pains. Just wandered what things do people have for breakfast after taking the linaclotide capsules?

I’ve had enough feel like giving up .ive been on linaclotide 290 since October and sachet of laxido once a day . I take the tablet in the morning before breakfast . .
