Linaclotide for Chronic Idiopathic Constipation "My doctor has prescribed this for me because I have had chronic constipation for over a year now, and I have been self-medicating with laxatives and stool softeners. Reading these reviews is making me really nervous to take this! I am hoping for some relief, but not to the point where I can't leave the bathroom and have unbearable stomach pain. I already get that."

For Constipation, Chronic "I was so excited about this drug for chronic constipation and IBS. First day on 290 mg I took it, nothing happened. Second day, nothing happened, but by now my stomach was distended to 7 months pregnant looking, and I had a pulsating pain on my left side, low near my hip. Day 3 again I took it, and nothing happened, and my stomach pain was 10/10. I finally took a suppository, and the result was completely liquid. I find it weird how it worked by pulling water into my bowel, but still something was holding it back. I stopped taking it after about 5 days because it wasn’t pushing things out and gave me horrible bloating. I now think my issue is more nerve/muscle related. Wishing everyone the best. This is so not fun!"
