Could Linzess Be A Good Solution For Constipation?

Here is My Question:
Could Linzess be a good solution for constipation?

Answer:
Linzess is new to me and I had to look this up.  It is FDA approved for constipation of unknown cause/irritable bowel syndrome.  It apparently works by stimulating the secretion of chloride and bicarbonate into the intestines which leads to more fluid in and faster movement of stool.  It is a prescription and is obtained from a physician after other causes of constipation are ruled out.  It may be helpful for your situation, but should be discussed with your prescribing physician.  For more conservative (non-prescription) options, please see my blog on gastrointestinal complaints in MS (Read Blog).
