Feedback on Linzess for Irritable Bowel-C or Chronic Constipation

Posted by sue225 @sue225, Mar 9, 2019

I have both of the above-conditions. Took Linzess, (called Constella in Canada) and got terrible stomach pain. Feeling desperate and thinking about trying it one more time. Interested in hearing what kind of experiences other people have had with linaclotide/linzess.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

My feedback on using Linzess:
I have been on Linzess 290 since June 2024. It has worked wonderfully. For me it worked within hours. I am so glad to find a doctor that did something other than tell me to eat more vegetables and fiber....... which I kept getting told for decades. Sometimes I would just quit eating.
I started on 145 but discussing it with one of my siblings she informed me that they made 290 also. So I asked my doc for 290. If I was still working it would be a problem because I take it at about 0330 ..... by about 0700 I am processing and usually keep having for about 4 hours here and there. I am just so glad to not be constipated.
IF you have close relatives (like siblings) consider asking..... I had never heard of it and I could have just asked one of my siblings...... anyway, I do not have any side-effects as far as I can tell after 7+ months.

I was on Linzess for years... I found out my bp was high on it. Keep an eye on your bp. It worked but has you glued to a bathroom for many hours to be able to leave the house. I am like this without it too... miserable and I can't sleep.
Just liquid diarrhea with Linzess.
Good luck
