I take Amitiza 24mcg twice a day for IBS-C and Chronic Constipation. I have never experienced D with it, but I have had shortness of breath some. I think that the benefits outweigh the risks in the long run. But like he said, talk to your doctor about the side effects. I find the Amitiza helps me. Also, drink plenty of water when you take it and don't take it on an empty stomach. HTH
