amitiza gas

and I have been in misery all day with gas...bloat ....pains from gas ....even took gas x and still no relief .....so in my case it is totally the wheat causing me issues ....the mucus in my throat even thinned out to where I could sleep and not choke at night .....try the gluten free and see if it helps at all.....

Had breast reconstruction over 10 years ago - TRAM flap with abdominal muscle. Digestion issues worsen every year. Physician prescribed Amitiza last year but now have to meet new-year deductible before I can benefit from manufacturer coupon. Symptoms now include increased, painful bloating, no burps, no flatulence and no bowel movement after about 5 days drinking only water. Usually fruit or juice will help but nothing is helping or happening. Suggestions welcome and encouraged.

my symptoms are weight loss, severe constipation, headaches, bloating, gas, and loss of appetite. Ive had and endoscopy, colonoscopy, cat scan, xray, multiple blood tests, allergy tests, diabetes test, fructose intolerance test, and stomach motility/emptying test and the doctors haven't found anything except lactose intolerance. I tried an IBS diet but that did nothing to alleviate my symptoms (it might have even made the worse especially the bloating).

I have a spot that I can press in my side right under my ribs on the left side where I press in a vibrating way and it seems to let the gas through at times, but honestly the Amitiza seems to target the gas for me, thankfully. I have heard some people find a warm bath helps, and if you soak in Epsom salts you can get a jolt of magnesium that way quickly.

I have cut out gas causing foods and take Heather's Tummy Tamers, Medicinal Eaters Digest Tea, Gas X when needed. Have they told you they could resection your colon? One surgeon told me resectioning my colon would be pointless if the colon itself is not working. I had the sitz marker test that showed my small intestine was fine but the large intestine wasn't moving along the way it should be.

Hi, the most reported common side effect of amitiza is diarrhea. It can also cause abdominal distension, nausea and abdominal pain. It can also cause fecal incontinence. Like your doctor suggested you can continue this medications for a few more days before you give up this medication. Regards.

My daughter began amitiza and it has worked wonderfully, however, she is spotting in between periods. Is this common?

Also, try taking Activated Charcoal capsules to get rid of the gas. If your gas is really bad, you may have to take 5 at a time to get relief. Let me tell you a little something about myself. Years ago I had burning in my stomach. Constantly. No dr could tell me what was wrong. The I had the Heidelberg test. The dr said that my stomach was really alkaline. He had never seen anyone with such an alkaline stomach.

I have done the doxycycline and a few other therepies that my gastrointerologist recommended. They would work for a while and then would get worse agan. I am now taking Amitiza and am doing pretty good with it. Though I have now started noticing a correlation to my menstral cycle and the onset of these symptoms. A week before i start my period I will stop haveing BMs. Completely. I won't go again until I start. And then I usually have to induce it somehow.

My doctor just started me on Amitiza last week following a colonoscopy that was fine. I also have had 2 CT scans; one without contrast and the other with contIrast and nothing showed up there. I had and still have a pain in my right lower abdomen. This AM the nausea was so bad I called the GI group and was told to stop taking the Amitiza for a few weeks and that the most common side effect of the drug is extreme nausea and it should ALWAYS be taken on a full stomach.

This looks like "official" matter. What meds are in question? Colonoscopy showed something? IBS is not a disease at all, and there's no drugs for IBS, as I know (my opinion). Zelnorm was even withdrawn from the (U.S.) market last year, now it might be back again.

Hello All. I'm really new on the panel and I'm searching for help. In the last two weeks I have not been able to have a BM. My doctor gave me some samples of amitiza 24 mcg. I've been taken them 2 per day for the last 4 days - One at night and another in the A.M. With the 1st tablet I had a BM. I have not had another BM since. It doesn't seem that I'm having any normal digestive sounds or movements. I don't even have the urge to have a BM.

protonix, pristique, oxybutinyn, amitiza, domperidone, florastor, dulcolax, gas-x daily tylenol, tylenol pm, davocet-n rarely as needed This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/885704'>what foods can someone with gastroparesis eat?</a>.

I have been doing the Fiber thing (which too much makes the gas get trapped in the colon even worse and the pain is god aweful)..

I'm a 24 year old female with a 7 year history of abdominal pain with trapped gas, extreme bloating, and on again off again constipation. It all started when i was 17 everyday I would have a salad for lunch and about 20 minutes later I had severe abdominal pain, bloating, and my stomach was distended. The only way to relive the pain was to lie down and let the gas work itself out.

Have you tried taking magnesium citrate every morning? Have you tried Amitiza? I have not tried Linzess yet, but Amitiza is pretty good for me. You could try taking walnut hull and wormwood preparation for parasites to see if that helps you.

Also take Lactulose and Amitiza. However, in order to take the Amitiza must take a nausea pill before and after. Often times still have nausea with the Amitiza and not convinced it helps all that much. I've been at this for 8 yrs and have done everything but stand on my head. Without pills and powder - bowel movements are difficult and every 3-5 days. And only partial. EXTREMELY bloated. Have difficulty fitting into street clothes later in the day. Makes work life and social life difficult.

I did and its been a month and it still hasnt healed. Having trouble with constipation and I am on amitiza. Any advice is welcome. As well, my doctor told me to take a stool softner twice a day to. Thinking about starting to eat soup.

Hi Candy, I really don't know how common it is but I also have IBS that just keeps getting worse... I only have bowel movements once maybe twice a month... I know it's hard to believe but it's the truth.. Also, I used to never have bloating and pain in between those movements... But, in the last few months my stomach stays distended, I cramp until I double over, and nothing seems to help... My doctor said it's a combination of the MS and the medication...

I had an endoscopy and found out I have a large duodenal ulcer with partial outlet obscrtuction.Can I take Amitiza with this ulcer?I was supposed to have a colonoscopy but I couldn't get completely clear.I was put on a drug to help heal the ulcer and a proton pump inhibitor.I just want to know if it is safe to amitiza.I am on opiods so I need it.

They fit me in as I have been so sick and now problems with constipation. Doctor prescribed Amitiza fir constipation and am to start Gabopentin. Second day on Amitiza, no BM and bad nausea this morning. Did not start the Gabaoentin yet in case I had a reaction, would not be sure which one caused it. I have now lost 15+ pounds and don't seem to be able to eat much of anything.

1 IBS symptoms include cramps, abdominal pain, gas, bloating, and alternating bouts of constipation and diarrhea. These symptoms range from being mildly annoying to very painful and disabling. According to one study, about 35 million people currently suffer from IBS. Women are afflicted about twice as often as men.

Then I went another 6 days without a bowel movement, so I saw an internal medicine doctor who prescribed Amitiza for 5 days, Miralax, and Citracel. I have been on these 3 mild laxatives for 5 days. During each of the past 3 days I have expelled 1 golf-ball sized stool daily.

With IBS the medications do work, and you normally just have some bloating and gas pains when not taking the medication...nothing like you describe! Please find a good Gastro doc and get the opinion of someone specialized in this area. I wish you all the best.
