Hey,
I had a question. I spoke with my GI doctor and told him about my bloating caused by trapped gas and c, if you saw any of my posts you know I've been on a dry spell of late and have tried numerous other drugs.
He recommended I try Amitza.
I got it today but wanted to know
1) Have any of you heard of it, tried it?
2) What's your impression, recommendation?
3) Could this backfire and make me worse as Zelnorm did or is less counterproductive potentially?
Thanks.

hi i take amitiza, i noticed it made me go to the bathroom more, i felt nauseated a few times, but it went away quickly. I also took miralax with it. I've been folowing heathers diet strickly and take miralax a lot less than i used to. lately i haven't been taking the amitiza, only once in a while,my stools have been softer,sometimes it seems stools can get watery with the amitiza if stools are too soft(to where it won't move out), and once in a while everything goes hard all of a sudden for no reason(nothing to do with the amitiza), i take benefiber, drink only water and rice milk. I'm not sure if i'm supposed to never take it then once in a while take it, but it works for me.

I tried it last month for 7 days. I was nauseous about one hour after each of the two doses per day. Also, I went from having initial difficulty with BM each day to not going at all. My doc advised that if it didn't help right away, to stop it. So, I followed her sage advice! Good luck to you.
