Common Questions and Answers about Amitiza gelcap
amitiza
My daughter began amitiza and it has worked wonderfully, however, she is spotting in between periods. Is this common?
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.
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.
You can take supplements while taking thyroid medication; however, you should maintain a 4 hour separation between thyroid med and vitamin/mineral supplements.
Selenium has been shown to help with the conversion of FT4 to FT3. Iodine is contra-indicated if you have Hashimoto's.
Vitamin D, alone, is, typically, a gelcap and probably wouldn't affect med absorption that much, but maintain a separation.
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.
We're all having to deal with it. Levoxyl was recalled to the retail level, so the shelves were emptly as soon as the recall was published. They are saying that it could be 2014 before it's back.
Different manufactureres use different fillers (inactive ingredients) in their tablets, and people are sometimes allergic or sensitive to them. Brand name Tirosint is a gelcap with water as the only filler, so it's hypoallergenic. You could ask your doctor about that.
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.
I have been taking Levothyroxine for 3 years. At that point I started having diarrhea. My doctor said that diarrhea was not a side effect of this medicine, and that I must be gluten intolerant or lactose intolerant. So for years I've been changing my diet, with no steady results. Whatever I ate, or did not eat, I still had diarrhea. So as a last resort, I stopped taking levothyroxine three days ago. I feel great !! I have so much energy and guess what? NO diarrhea !!!
My favorite herb kills fungal infections and bacterial, and you could take it in pill form. Gelcap really. Nigella sativa.
Is this your only reaction? Your eyes are itchy? what about light sensitivity? Sometimes you need to give it 10 days or so to feel the full effect. Everytime you start, increase or decrease hormone there is a honeymoon period that lasts about 10 days to see what it will actually do to you. Give it a few more days and see how you feel.
I am on milk of magnesia, amitiza, and dulcolax and my doctor wants me to try to get off the milk of magnesia. You can try using other medications for constipation to see if that works better. Amitiza is a new one out there but sometimes certain ones work better than others. Has your doctor ever mentioned abdominal migraines?
As for the constipation, try taking one capful (the little cup thing that comes with the bottle) of milk of magnesia every day. Talk to your GP about Amitiza, you might be a good canidate for that, as well. Not every constipation problem needs fiber as most people (and some doctors believe)-I did that for years and my problem continued. I laid off the fiber as directed by my gastroenterologist, took the Amitiza & m of m each night and my troubles were over.
Long and twisted colon that tends to slow passage of stool and cause constipation that can be quite severe. I take Miralax and Amitiza for mine. They work, but are expensive - especially the latter.
How about trying Tirosint? It's a new T4 med (out about a year ago) that's a gelcap; has no fillers, dye, etc. Contains only levothyroxine, glycerine, gelatin, water. It's basically hypoallergenic, more readily absorbed, etc...... Tirosint comes in a variety of strengths, including 112, I think........
I've been on it since Aug of last year and doing great with it........
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.
Tirosint and Synthroid are 2 different brands of T4 medication. Tirosint is a gelcap, containing only 4 ingredients, which are the active ingredient, levothyroxine, water, gelatin, and glycerin. It's basically, hypoallergenic. As a gelcap, it's dissolved and absorbed better than pill type meds. Tirosint starts off at 13 mcg and goes up to 300 mcg.
Synthroid is the leading brand of pill type thyroid hormone replacement meds.
