Experiences with

Linzess

My concern is that although I take daily laxatives, linzess and Movical there is still a certain of amount of straining , plus bending over. Has anyone else had a cataract removed? How did you cope? thanks

The constipation taking Linzess almost killed me and ended up bleeding etc and hospitalized. I also have damaged esophagus so take all kinds every day for that So upping Pred for me means stomach pain and focus on it etc. So I tried staying on 7.5 for about a week but couldn’t. Then 5.

I take Linzess but not even sure that works much anymore, and the one thing that helps is Senna ( a natural laxative), but the fullness after eating just a bit, bloating, and constipation is driving me a bit nuts. I just get so very sick of it all.

I have breast cancer and was constipated for five years I think the severe diarrhea caused by linzess for severe constipation from the drug I took for the breast cancer may have caused CP. former drinker and smoker. I stopped sev.en years ago now this.

My Gastro has prescribed me Prucalopride and Linzess but both stopped working after a few months.. I would be so grateful to anyone who would be happy to share their story, thoughts or advice as I am desperate to find a solution. Thank you all.

I have been prescribed linzess so wanted to ask if anyone with severe constipation had taken this medication and could comment on its efficacy and side effects.

I was prescribed Constella (linzess) and it helped really well for a while. Now it seems to do nothing for me. Anyone else had this experience?

I’m starting Linzess 72 mcg. Has anyone taking Linzess with Omeprazole and probiotic? If so, have you had good results or bad!

I have had every test ran nothing discovered deadly….happy for that part but I’m on Linzess 290mg and I’m not seeing a life changing result. I have been on it for 12 months. Just about 3 mo ago I vowed to take it 100% as directed i made sure to document how I took it and still nothing.

He said that I should better use linaclotide, a secretagogue (Constella/Linzess) (better transit/may lower abdominal pain/stimulates secretion of chloride/bicarbonate/water into the intestinal lumen) on a daily basis and maybe 1-3 times during the week bisacodyl 5mg, if still necessary.

Many have gastroparesis--poor stomach function--but for me the problem was at the other end, literally, Linzess was prescribed but didn't solve the problem. I went from constipation to voluminous diarrhea.

Along with Rytary I've been taking Linzess, a new constipation medicine. I take the pill at 8AM and around 11AM I'm rewarded with a large, semisolid BM. The neuro didn't want to use LInzess but insurance won't cover anything else.

So starting tomorrow I take Linzess and Gaviscon and a proton pump inhibitor to reduce stomach acid. Hopefully I'll see improvement within a week or two. If not there are other meds to try.

I'm also taking new meds metformin and doxycycline and linzess every few days. I wonder if they in some way had anything to do with it. My Alp went down in Sep. to 130 and then back up again on the next test.

Also, I have bad constipation that I take Linzess for. Optician said when I was getting tested for glasses that my glands were blocked up and not due to allergies. I also have been breaking out in rashes. They said this is probably related to my Hashimotos but my numbers are actually pretty good.

Hi all Taking constella/linzess anyone here got acid reflux from this med If so what can you take to help

Gastro started me on Linzess and that has helped, as has keeping a diary of trigger foods (I eat plant based diet, so I'm already a bit limited, and that is frustrating!). But I do feel I'm making at least a little headway. Here is the current issue that is most worrisome to me, however.

Linzess anyone?. Hello everyone, I'm new on here so first of all pleased to be in this network. I have been suffering IBS C for a few years and sometimes IBS D. I have been prescribes Linzess but having issues with the effects, anyone any experience with this med?

I have been suffering with nausea and stomach issues, along with chronic constipation or, when I take a prescription laxative like Linzess, then I have to stay around the house and have bowel movements constantly all day.
