"I’ve been on trulance for almost 3 full months now. I’ve had IBS for over 10 years and tried every medicine, supplement, and over the counter type of relief. Most of which never worked. Trulance has given me great results, almost every single day. Still 1 day a week or so I’m constipated. I do experience the side effects of cramping and bloating all day after the medicine and sometimes nausea. Some days I’m in the bathroom 2-5 times and sometimes it’s just diarrhea but it’s not too bad. I’m still trying to figure out how to manage these symptoms but they are much more welcome than the pain and agony I felt constipated for a week at a time. Hopefully I can get used to the side effects because this is the only thing that works for me and I don’t want to stop taking it. I usually take it on an empty stomach, I’ll try with food. Overall, happy with trulance!"

"I’ve been taking Trulance for a week so far and have noticed great results! I’ve had IBS for 10 years and nothing else works. Linzess was too harsh on me and gave me severe side effects. My doctor recommended Trulance and I was nervous due to some reviews to try it. 1st 3 days it worked perfect! Some slight cramping and bloating after taking it, then a few hours later I was able to use the bathroom no issue. Next 3 days it didn’t work, maybe I didn’t eat or drink enough. 7th day it worked perfect again! Had no issues on the 7th day or side effects. Only a week in but I can already tell this is going to be something I take daily and get much needed relief with. May not work every single day and I still need to get used to it more but so far very happy with my experience! Also for reference, I split the dosage each day and found that works best for me."

"First time taking Trulance it did nothing over 5 days except stomach grumbling, headaches and mild dizziness. Trying it again and now I get watery diarrhea within a few hours of taking it which takes up half my day. I cut back to every other day with same results. I also have diverticulosis which flares up terribly after all the diarrhea. Now I'm getting indigestion and some reflux along with bloating. Not sure if this is the answer."

"My doctor provided a sample of Trulance to try. I experienced explosive diarrhea, bloating, and stomach pain. I was dehydrated, and the next day felt low energy. I don't think this medication is for me."

"I have been on Linzess long term and thought it wasn’t working as well for my IBS-C so I tried Trulance. Worse than nothing and I’m eating 30 grams of fiber, exercising and drinking water with it. Reminds me of my body BEFORE I started on Linzess. It’s as if I’m taking nothing to aid me so I’m switching back to Linzess. Trulance was awful. If I wanted to be this constipated I’d take no drugs. I am using samples for 2 weeks from my doctor."

"Having LUQ pain for Three years. Colonoscopy in CT showed nothing hence blamed on IBS – C. Linzess was tried but I ended up in the ER twice with an allergic reaction - severe headache abdominal pain and intractable nausea and vomiting. Trulance was tried and so far it seems to be working well. Usually between 2-4 hours I have several BMs including but not always diarrhea. After about four hours everything is fine. I still take MiraLAX a couple times a week and drink plenty of water. I have also tried a half a pill( one and a half milligrams) with OK results, but less consistent results. My only complaint is the cost and that’s absolutely Obscene (1600$ for 90 pills)."

"I got told to take a saline laxative to clean myself out then start the trulance (3mg). GI told me she hasn’t heard of anyone getting diarrhea from it so it shouldn’t happen and I’ve read all the reviews about people experiencing this and told to stop taking it if it happens to me. This is my first day starting it and not even 45 minutes after taking it I was having explosive diarrhea for about an hour. Out of the bathroom for 5 minutes and now back again for another hour of having explosions. I don’t know when it’s gonna stop but I know I’m not taking it again. I give it a 4/10 because I guess I did still have some left in my system from the laxative but it’s not a good time at all. Make sure you talk to your doctors about the medication and find out more into before taking it instead of not being told anything about it when it gets prescribed"

"My GI doc gave me a trial sample of this and well I'm definitely not constipated anymore. Have tried one day taking a full tablet, got severe explosive diarrhea. Per my GI I waited a couple days then tried a half tablet, same thing. Don’t take it unless you’ve got all day to be having explosive diarrhea"

"Trulance has worked well for me in spite of the symptoms that seem common. But I took it two days consecutively this week and have had no results at all. I’ve eaten prunes, spinach, etc. which didn’t help. Don’t know if I should take another one now."

"Works better than some other medications that I tried before, but it's not a replacement for a healthy diet that is full of fibers and vitamins."

"Not very pleased. I have one bowel movement after taking Trulance during that day and only small amount of waste comes out. So I know I still have a lot of waste in me."
