constipation, chronic
"I have been on Amitiza for five years, and am truly grateful for it.  I was lucky to have a bowel movement every 5-7 days before Amitiza after trying other prescriptions, Miralax and high fiber diets, and this medicine was a God-send.  When I was recently hospitalized for two weeks, the hospital did not carry the medication and I had to wait five days to have someone bring it from home and have it approved by the hospital pharmacy to give to me, and I paid the price for being off it for that long.  I am astonished when doctors have not heard of this medication because it has been my savior from constant constipation."
