Eluxadoline
irritable bowel syndrome
"I've been taking this medication for two months now. At first I was taking the full dose, but I never had a BM so I lowered to 75mg once a day. I haven't had an IBS-D attack since I've taken it. I still have my A flare ups sometimes, but it's really been a lifesaver. The downside is that my BM's have now gone to every 4th day, and when I do go it's in very small amounts, is painful, and I usually end up having to skip a few days of viberzi to get it all out. 



The medicine definitely works. For me, it works too well. I'm going to do a follow up with my doctor. I don't want to give up this medicine but I don't think it's healthy to be constipated  all the time, either."
