I have a new meds called linzess for constipation it's says to take 30 min before eating but i already ate about 1 hrs ago could i go ahead and take !

You could but..: Just be aware that you may not absorb the medication in the way that it is meant to be absorbed (on an empty stomach), and therefore may not have the exact response you are expecting to the medication.

This Once...: Have it with a piece of toast, but the instructions are there for a reason, as the medication works best when taken as prescribed. Good luck.

Wait until next meal: Read and follow the directions carefully - this will give you the optimal chance of the most benefit. Physicians appreciate working w/ patients who take their treatment seriously and play a helpful role. You'll feel better too as you manage your self-care. So, just wait until about an hour before your next meal. The point is that your stomach be empty - far from last and at least 30 min before.
