Re: New drug for IBS C - Syl       01/20/13 04:10 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Linzess is used for individuals with chronic constipation or IBS-C only, that is for individuals with IBS with fewer than 3 bowel movements per week and straining, a sensation of incomplete evacuation, or hard stools during at least 25% of all bowel movements. The most problematic side effect is serious diarrhea. It is unknown if this drug is more effective than a laxative such as Miralax. I have written more in this post which contains a link to a recent detailed publication on the drug. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
