Been on Linzess 2 weeks now. I take it before dinner, sometimes really watery stool or just normal stool. Can't take in the AM due to work schedule. Take then so have time to evacuate before bed, best time for me. Still have splenic flexure pain, will see with continued use, on 290 mg dose. ## Hi Chris, Sorry to hear about your continued splenic flexure pain. From what I've read online, splenic flexure pain is said to be caused by gas-forming foods as well as various types of fatty foods. Do you find this to be the case in your situation as well after eating certain meals containing these foods? If that is so, my first thought as a nutritional advocate would be to supplement with digestive enzymes and probiotics to help better metabolize foods that would otherwise linger in the ...

Can these two pills be taken at the same time? I have IBS and take Lomotil as needed and my dr. prescribed Methylprednlsolone for my sinus infection. Can these be taken together? I don't feel great. ## Hello, Lvf! How are you? I'm sorry that you're not feeling well. I didn't find any interactions listed between these two medications, but it always best to double check such information to be sure. What type of symptoms are you having? The Methylprednisolone is a steroid class medication, so it can cause some annoying side effects, such as headache, nausea, weight changes, fluid retention and elevated heart rate.

I have migraines - is the above mentioned medication good for treating them? ## Hyospasmol is listed as containing the active ingredient Scopolamine; which is used to treat conditions such as motion sickness, nausea, IBS and intestinal cramping. I actually would not recommend this medication for migraines since some of its side effects (listed below) are likely to give you a headache on their own: Blurred vision; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; flushing. If you suffer from migraines there are a number of natural alternatives that don't have the side effects of this medication. I would suggest looking into some essential oils and/or herbs (such as basil and oregano) for this treatment to get the best results. Maybe even a combination of sorts :) I wish you the best and I hope this ...

I've been dealing with ibs and chronic constipation for about 5 years. Recently my gi doctor suggested i switch from lactolose to miralax as the lactolose was creating a lot of gas discomfort, i was taking 6 tablespoons daily of lactolose for the past 4 years. I started the miralax 6-21-11 at one dose daily for first 7 days then increased to two dose daily. The miralax at first worked ok but has stopped working the last 2 days. How long should i continue with miralax, iv'e heard to give it 1 to 2 weeks for it to start working good. I'm thinking about going back to lactolose and putting up with the gas. Thanks. ## Have you consulted your doctor? They'd really be best able to advise you on this. The use of laxatives, such as Miralax, for IBS can really depend on the patien...

I am getting knee replacement and I don't want morphine because I throw up and bad headache and hallucinate. Vicodin does the same. Is there something I can take that won't harm me? I have high blood pressure, IBS, panic attacks, and depression. I take meds for these. I can't take tramadol because it interacts with Xanax. I am very scared. When I got my galbladder out they kept giving me morphine. I was so sick from it. The pain was still there. Let me know if there is something better than opiates. ## Hello, Robin! How are you? No, opiates are the best pain relievers, but there are others available that you could try, such as Dilaudid or Oxycodone. The FDA warns that they may be habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and c...
