For Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation "Having struggled my whole life, the last couple of years have been very hard. I have tried everything in the books and still struggled. Trulance stopped working and was never predictable. IBSrela has given me hope. I eased my way in and have settled on once a day and skipping two days a week. Every day was too harsh, and I can’t take it if I have to be somewhere during the morning. It works in 30 minutes, usually 2-3 times, so there is a need to be close to home for a couple of hours. So sometimes that means taking it at lunch or dinner. The best part is I am not having that horrible sharp cramping I had before. Such a relief to feel like I have some control now. I do start the day with two fibercon and a full ten ounces of water. I also take two probiotics a day, drinking plenty of water. I am hopeful for the first time in decades."

Ibsrela (tenapanor) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation "Any other medicine for constipation triggers my colitis. IBSRELA is the only one that makes me go without pain, cold sweat, and cramps. Unfortunately, IBSRELA is not on my insurance list. I am glad my doctor gave me some samples to try. I highly recommend."

Ibsrela (tenapanor) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation "I have had a life-changing experience with Ibsrela. Unlike any of the other drugs for slow transit constipation and IBS-C that I've tried, without efficacy, I must add, Ibsrela continues to be effective; daily, weekly, monthly, etc... All the others I've had experience with - Zelnorm, Trulance, Amitiza, and Linzess - stopped working after taking them only for a short amount of time. I highly recommend Ibsrela. I did not have to go through insurance at all since I was among the first patients among my GI specialist's patients in a trial at Cleveland Clinic for Ardelyx, which is the pharmaceutical company that makes Ibsrela."

Ibsrela (tenapanor) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation "I have been taking this med for about a month for IBS-C. This is after I've been on basically everything else on the market, all of which eventually failed me for one reason or another. Anyhow, this med causes me diarrhea. A lot, and often. It was at its worst the first two weeks. Not ideal, but better than never going at all. Aside from that, no side effects whatsoever. I'll probably have to supplement with some sort of soluble fiber to calm the runs a bit, but overall, I think Ibsrela is worth a try. Just be sure to drink plenty of water, and possibly some Gatorade or something to help with electrolytes."
