irritable bowel syndrome
"Taken Linzess (145mg) for about 7 months now.  I think what people need to know is that you can experiment with the dosing of it.  My doctor prescribed it for me because I've suffered with IBS-C since my early 20s -17ys.  Like others, it caused a lot of loose stool at first, but it does get better.  I also found that if I took it every day after the initial adjustment period, it stopped working as well, so I backed off and starting taking it every 3 days.  My body doesn't get too used to it, so it is still routinely effective without having to go to a higher dose.  Also, sometimes I have bowel movements normally between doses, sometimes I don't.  The magic of this is that I don't have to freak out about it now and I don't get bloated."
