constipation, chronic
"Chronic constipation my whole life.  Tried all over the counter meds over the years.  After a bout of 3 full weeks straight of constipation, not one bowel movement the entire time..went to the pharmacy and bought an enema...it did nothing...the next night I went back and bought an oil based enema...that did nothing.  Pharmacist advised I go to the hospital.  Went to the hospital.  Xray showed entire digestive system filled from the bottom to the top.  No blockage though.  So they gave me a drink...told me to drink it at home and I would have explosive bowel movement.....it did nothing.  Went to my doctor...he gave me 290 mgs. of Linzess, finally I went for like an hour. Only diarreah toward the end. Switched to 145mgs when needed. Woohoo!"
