Suggest Remedy For Severe Constipation And Stomach Pains
I have been taking Linzess for 2 months with good results until now. I m back to severe constipation and been having tarry stools and stomach pains. What I ve read about Linzess says to call your doctor and go the emergency room. I have stopped taking it until I talk to my doctor tomorrow. How dangerous is this?Thank you Brenda

Welcome to HealthCare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.
You probably have irritable bowel syndrome(IBS) - that is probably the reason you are having constipation and diarrhoea on and off.
Do not worry. Linzess is a drug that is often prescribed for IBS. It is not dangerous.
I would suggest you to visit a physician. He/she can examine you and correlate clinically and guide you on the further management.
Hope this helps.
Have a nice day.
Regards.
