I have been diagnosed with COPD, recently I was also diagnosed with IBS with constipation. I have been taking Linzess for a month. It seems to work well until I eat then the stomach pain and bloating comes back. Im tired o being miserable. Is this normal after taking Linzess?
Hello, thank you for your query.First, let me tell you that COPD may not have relation to this pain of yours. Secondly, the Chat Doctor. . I'd recommend you to stop taking it and instead try taking risperidone tablets along with mild laxatives once in a while. If you feel that it's not helping much, then go for mebevarine instead of risperidone. For COPD go for breathing exercises along with steam inhalation regularly to avoid medication that might have constipation as a side effect or might aggregate your IBS. Hope this was helpful.
