First I would say have you had tests to try to find reasons for this. I had linzess as we have NHS in UK. It helped but gave me diarrhea. Have you tried home colonic irrigation. I was prescribed this by a biofeedback nurse. I used the peristeen system. I have paid privately for a comprehensive stool test and found I have 2 parasites and very little good bacteria in my gut. I'm trying to eradicate the parasites now. Hope you get help.

Have you ever had helicobactor pylori infection only my boyfriend was diagnosed with this about ten years ago and his stomach has never been right since he’s now been diagnosed with ibs he’s been prescribed linaclotide what I think are linzess he’s wary of taking them because he feels so ill and is worried about the affect they will have on his stomach and bowel

No I've never had that infection. Linaclotide is quite strong. Hope he gets help.

Hi, I just read a little about your problem, did not know the medical words for this. You did not say if you worked, family etc. Anyway have you seen a urologist, I’am on a pill called Trospium Chloride 20 mg one in morning one at night, keeps me from bladder leakage. For stool problem I would drink plenty water and eat lots of fruits and veggies. Hope this might help. Keep us posted!

It's 900 dollers because it's like 24 dollers per pill, I know it's outrageous. And the pill really does help so much but they know we really need it so they make it expensive. When you take it tho you'll go from in pain to relief in an hour. It will give you the runs big time but is so worth it if your having pains from being so backed up. My insurence stopped paying for mine.
