Eluxadoline
irritable bowel syndrome
"I have battled stomach issues for 9 years now (I'm only 26). No doctor has found the problem in the past. I've tried many different medications, every diet known and still received no relief. I was in the bathroom with diarrhea 10+ times a day and that was on a 'good' day. My doctor prescribed Viberzi 2x a day. I took my my first pill in the morning and by the evening my diarrhea had completely went away. However, I do have side effects: gas and bloating, the feeling of being loopy, dry mouth, loss of appetite, and now constipation. I'm trying some stool softener to see if it'll help but, I'm going to keep experimenting until I find something that works. It's been extremely nice not having to run to the bathroom 10 times a day though!"
