Linaclotide
irritable bowel syndrome
"Oct-2012, Had colectomy with anastimosis because muscle and nerves had stopped working on colon and I let it go too long because nothing helped.  If only I had this few years ago before I gave up hope.  Praying it will save small intestine that's left.  As a Plus, it takes the 8  pain from irritable bowel syndrome flare down to a livable life.  Maximum dose.  If I didn't have a Fibromyalgia flare & lesions formed inside I'd be perfect.  Gives me hope & gives hope to many who were losing options.   Did have to Fight Blue Cross to cover but hey realized it was cheaper than many ER visits for pain & constipation.  Makes life easier. Thank You for helping me get my life back. Had almost given up."
