I have IBS-C and I've tried Linzess but am now on Lubiprostone. So far, neither has been very good for me, but I've heard other people have really benefited from taking them. I also used to take Docusate which helped some when paired with Linzess.

I have IBS-C. My doctor tried me on linzess but it made me defecate in my pants. Good thing I don't go out. My Parkinsons is messing with my blatter. So now I have to wear pads because sometimes I don't make it to the bathroom. Talking about uncomfortable!
