I am taking Trulance for IBS. Diarrhea is a side effect. If I wake up with diarrhea, should I still take Trulance? ## For me it didn’t work the horrible side effect of uncontrollable diarrhea meant that I tried for a week to get my body used to it it never did ## You should take it as your doctor has instructed. If the diarrhea is severe, and problematic, then you should discuss it with your doctor, as you may need to try a different medication. The FDA lists the other side effects of Trulance as possibly including nausea, dizziness, and gas. Ref: Trulance Information Jdragr, it takes more than a week for your body to get used to a medication, it usually takes about 4 to 5 weeks. What has your doctor advised now that you've stopped taking it?

I was on the 290mcg Linzess and the diarrhea and abdominal pain was unbearable. Doctor has since switched me to Trulance which just came out. Having regular bowel movements with no pain or diarrhea. Doesn't need to be taken with food either. I have fought this for years and for the first time in a long time it's manageable.
