irritable bowel syndrome
"Have suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Constipation for many years.  Have been taking Linzess for 2 months now.  I take it every morning 30-60 minutes before I eat, and it works wonderfully!  I no longer have to deal the that bloated feeling and belly pain I would feel throughout the day.  I also feel that I completely get my stools out, no longer deal with straining on the toilet.  Having a bowel motion is now very easy for me and I no longer have to deal with these issues on a regular basis.  You do have to take it every day and not skip a dose.  You might get loose stools on the first couple of doses when you start Linzess, wasn't a big deal and went away after the first few days.  Probably "loosening" my stools up so I would no longer be constipated."
