Linaclotide
constipation, chronic
"This drug has drastically improved my quality of life!  I've had IBS-mixed for as long as I can remember, though more recently I've had more trouble with chronic constipation.  Linzess has allowed me to have regular, well-formed bowel movements, as long as I'm very compliant with a high-fiber, healthy diet, and as long as I stay on a predictable schedule and drink plenty of water.  It even helped me while traveling, though it's less effective if I don't follow a regular routine.  I've never had a problem with diarrhea  while taking it, even when I took the higher IBS dose, though I found that my abdomen feels less bloated and full on the lower dose.  Linzess is by far the most effective treatment I've tried!"
