constipation, chronic
"I began taking medication for my thyroid about a year ago.  Prior to that I NEVER had issues with constipation.  I was an "at least once-a-day goer" and happy about it.  The various medications I started REALLY messed me up.  I would go DAYS without a bowel movement and I FELT TERRIBLE.  I was not made for this.

A tried every over the counter medication, both natural and not, that you can imagine.  Nothing would work.

About 40 days ago my doctor prescribed me Linzess and I have gone *almost* every day since. It almost ALWAYS loose stool, however I sometimes even have to run to the restroom.  But I will take that over constipation ANY day.  One other drawback is that my stomach is VERY loud when I'm on it.  Quiet rooms, quiet meetings..."
