Linzess Every Other Day

Hi I just been given linzess 290 for everyday. I suffer with tons of gas and constipation and bloating all the time.and it worked great the first few days of taking it however I noticed when I took it I had uncomtorble spasms in my lower belly so my doctor recommended to take it every other day. Do you think I should switch to the lower dose? I'm scared I won't have a BM and I'll have gas the days I don't take the 290 dose.

It is always best to follow your doctor's instructions and the only way to know how it will work for you is by trying it.

Some people have been doing quite well taking it every other day.

The stomach cramping and spasms can be normal side effects of this medication, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea.

Have you made the change, yet? If so, how is it working for you?
