First days on Amitiza - input needed
I tried all 3 doses of
Linzess
but discontinued b/c of severe cramping and diarrhea issues. Today I took dose 1 of Amitiza. Although side effects less severe than w/
Linzess
, I'm wondering if this is something I should try "pushing through".

Linsezz/Linaclotide
Hi all I'm starting on
Linzess
/Linaclotide tomorrow morning as recommended by my IBS nurse. Dose is 290mg once a day. I'm just wondering how others got on with it and if you have any advice/tips? Thanks. X

Is it really ibs or is it not
Finally getting a doctor who will help I hope, just got to fight my insurence for
linzess
back now. Adoni is good. Also wondering where I can get some cheap probiotics from, I live in the USA. Can't do activia since it's a dairy product. Any help or info would be appreciated thank you.

Stomach issues unsolved
While waiting for the appointment, the doctor prescribed me
linzess
. I started taking it and it caused diarrhea really quick. It was yellow and slimy and caused me to be in excruciating pain. I went to the emergency room and they just did blood work and sent me home when it came back normal.

New Gastroenterologist prescribed Trulance (Plecanatide) 3mg tablets for IBS-C. Is anyone on this? Is it helping? Also wants Sphincter? Test
Thinks this (Trulance) might work better than
Linzess
that prior Gastros put me on. Said over time, depending if this works, also wants me off daily stool softener (Colace) use.

All at once!
I already know that my nephrologist is upset that I stopped the
Linzess
for my constipation since it left me utterly dehydrated and unable to go to the bathroom for days, and I'm nervous that my Perotinitis is just going to be proof of that.

Has anyone tried home remedies to help with IBS-C..such as Apple Cider Vinegar, Blackstrap Mollasses, etc? Anything better than Laxatives?
Tired of
Linzess
and loose stools. Fiber does nothing. Have gone to every Doctor and Gastro..just had Upper GI, and lower Bowel Follow through with Barium Swallow. Everything fine. Colonoscopy fine. Polyps non-cancerous.

Frightened, Have lost so much weight from Chronic and severe constipation..help!
Then he prescribed
Linzess
, which gave me bad stomach pain. Then he told me "more fiber and stool softener" which I told him before did not work. Now, he does not know what to do with me, and has referred me to a colon and rectal specialist. I used to be a happy, outgoing person a year ago.

Constipation is Poopy
I use Miralax every morning and take
Linzess
(290mg) once a day. I eat a relatively healthy and high fiber diet and I exercise 3-4 times per week. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? I feel so bloated and gross.
