Linzess And Coffee

I've been taking linzess for a week and am having a lot of pain down low in my stomach. I had to take two aspirins to at least get some sleep one night. It also hurts when I urinate. I have to take it in the afternoon because I work during the day. It has been relieving me quite well. I'm just worried about having so much pain to where I moan and groan when I walk and I can't continue any kind of work out.

Does anyone have a lot of gas with linzess? Sometimes it won't stop. If so, what helps you with this problem?

Hi Jo, sorry to hear about your discomfort with Linzess. What mg are you taking? If on the 190 you may need to go to 145. I took Linzess for years and it was great. Took at bedtime and went 1st thing in morning. I will say you need to eat healthy diet. I would have cramping and a little more discomfort if I ate too much cheese, dairy products without adding fruit and vegetables. Hope this helps

Cramping, and discomfort can be normal side effects of this medication, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, headache, and diarrhea.

What is the question about coffee with Linzess? I'm sorry, but you weren't specific.

You may need to follow pamelaq's suggestion, and speak to your doctor about trying a lower dose.
