constipation, chronic
"I had an umbilical hernia and severe constipation where I felt my bowels grind to a halt. At first, my family doctor and gastroenterologist recommended miralax but I had to increase the dosage to 14 tablespoons a day to deal with the pain. Linzess does not cause diarrhea for me because I take it as soon as I get up and do not eat until lunch. Bowel movements are normal and the pain is gone. The pain used to feel like my intestines were being torn apart. I thank God every day for Linzess."
