Okay, I take it back. Not going to give it another day. Amitiza works by drawing water into the colon, thus helping constipated folks have "spontaneous bowel movements". Fair enough. However, my problem isn't technically constipation, it's incomplete evacuation. And... for me... Amitiza simply adds to my already "mushy" problem.
I've been bulking things up lately (with great success!) with beans (lentils & black beans) and more vegetables, and have been happy with ... shall we say... the reduction of mush. However, the Amitiza definitely is mush-inducing and therefore, of no use to me.
If you have true constipation, I imagine Amitiza would work for you, but if your problem is a sluggish gut, like mine, it probably won't.
Just my two pennies.
