irritable bowel syndrome
"First Week with Linzess: (continued) Other notes:

Bloating: yes, within 30 minutes of taking a pill, I can visually see my abdomen expand as Linzess causes the intestines to increase production of fluids.  I don’t have that awful bloated feeling that you would suffer through with a bout of Colitis, this bloating is pain-free for me.  But visually, you will be surprised until the BM occurs.  Once finished, the bloating is gone and I feel better than I have in years the rest of the day.

Timing of taking the pill: I have not figured this out at all.  I may try bedtime next.

No abdominal pain is liberating!  

I'll report more later!"
