"I could not leave the house after breakfast, as the Amitiza was making me poop small bits of poo every 30 minutes from breakfast to early afternoon. Who can live that way?"

"I take Amitiza for IBS-C plus I take pain medication occasionally. Two a day does not work for me. My doctor said I could increase the dose. This works pretty well, as long as I eat food and drink water. No side effects"
