irritable bowel syndrome
"I suffer from chronic constipation and was told that it is now severe. My GI doctor gave me Linzess 145 mgs. It helped a little. Then he increased it to 290 mgs. For a week it was fine with the exception of very hard stools coming out. I have not as of yet experienced diarrhea from this medicine nor do I have to run to the bathroom. Now, it has become ineffective and I am making smaller stools with required straining. I am still severely constipated and my GI doctor does not want to give me a different medicine to take. I am nervous that there will be nothing to help me."
