constipation, chronic
"I have had constipation problems for years.  Before Linzess, I was taking up to 6 different medications to try to go and then it would hit with a vengeance and last all day long.  I couldn't work a full time job because of it.  I was miserable all of the time with bloating, cramping and nausea.  

I have only been on it a week and I already feel so much better.  I now have bowel movements like normal people.  Yes, there is some diarrhea, but I think I am still getting used to it.  If the diarrhea gets bad, I will cut back to every other day.  But, I will talk to my doctor first."
