A member asked:
I have ibs-c w/ severe, chronic constipation. started linzess (145mcg) 2 days ago, but no difference in symptoms yet. how long does it take to work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You must: measure in terms of WEEKS not DAYS since you should be following a dietary intake consistent with your IBS type! Consult with your Gastroenterologist about what you should be eating. One thing I can advise...DRINK LOTS OF FLUIDS!!!!!!!!!! and start NOW! Good luck Hope this helps! Dr Z
