If the BP problem persists it would be good to contact your doctor. I looked at the drug company's website and it said that if any side effects persist you should call your doctor.
The website (https://www.linzess.com/about-linzess/common-side-effects?) also said that any unusual side effects should be reported to the FDA. Here is the quote from their website: "You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit http://www.FDA.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088."
Has your doctor ever mentioned the fodmap eating plan? You follow it for a month and then gradually add restricted foods in very small amounts. As you can't tolerate dairy it might be good to see if gluten is a problem as well.
I hope your side effects from the Linzess begin to dissipate. Will you post again?

I did go to the doctor. It was my G.P. I told her about it and told her I wasn't going to take it anymore. She didn't know anymore about it than I did. My BP has been high several times since then--two weeks ago when I got the medicine. No, the doctor has never mentioned the fodmap eating plan. She doesn't even know about my being allergic to dairy. I have so many other things, you wouldn't believe it. I have Barrett's Esophagus for one thing. She prescribed a pill I take a night which will help me get to sleep and bp at the same time. I have a hiatal hernia which I am going to have a consultation next week. I am not wanting to go out in public, especially to a hospital to have an operation at this time. I have had so many surgeries, I can't remember them all!
