I took Linzess for a year. The higher dose was too high! Finally was changed to 72 milligrams. I had to be careful not to take it on a day I was going out to be sure I wasn't going to have a problem. If it worked well, I skipped a day. Linzess stopped working for me.
I have chronic constipation with a pelvic floor diagnosis. That was all in Michigan.

I am now in Wisconsin at Mayo. I cannot get in to a gastroenterologist until late January..

In the meantime, miralax, stool softeners, ducolax and senakot not helpful. I did purchase an organic orange psyllium powder online which is helpful. I take it with water and crystal light, which helps the taste.

I've not taken Trulance.
