Linzess is awful - constant pain and dry mouth | Intestinal Problems & Bowel Movements discussions | Body & Health Conditions center

Guest over a year ago

Hello everybody,

I’ve been suffering from irritable bowel syndrome for quite a few years now and I more or less lost all hope of finding something that would permanently solve this problem. Instead, I fell like a test mice for every new medication that promises to help with the symptoms. The latest one my GI doc wanted me to try is Linzess - luckily I took it over a weekend because I had most horrible cramping and abdominal pain followed by several bouts of diarrhea. If anyone else has any experience with this medication, please share if you had any better results.

Have you tried going to naturopath or a chiropractor who specializes in applied kinesiology? I had IBS for years and it wasn't until I cut out my food sensitivities (the main ones were all corn products and cows milk products) and started taking Young Living peppermint oil in my water that I had a huge difference. It no longer controls my life. My naturopath did EDS testing to tell me my food sensitivities. My big trigger was driving in the morning, I couldn't go anywhere before 11am or I would have to stop 3 times to use the bathroom before I reached my destination. Have you tried taking a good probiotic?

I have also had the same reaction fro Linzess. I started with the regular dose, and then was put on the half dose. After only three pills I am really suffering with horrible cramping which comes on any time of day, especially at dinner time. Sometimes it's accompanied by diarrhea, but not always. Will never take it again

I made a horrible mistake my daughter gave me the medication today and I am in the ER with my son and he just has been admitted. I took it before reading the side effects not wise. Uncontrolled diarrhea when you're sitting in a hospital is not fun and it only took me one dose to get this sick and I already had burning mouth issues and right now I can't even swallow water. I'm going to give it the 2 weeks they say but this is pretty miserable
