Common Questions and Answers about Amitiza nausea

amitiza

974371 tn?1424653129 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.
605458 tn?1539228808 Is it to prevent a side effect, such as nausea, or does it have something to do with how the medication works?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Well, have not had the gallbladder removed. The specialist I have been seeing at Stanford is not too concerned about the gallbladder, which she feels may being caused by all the GI issues, which she is focusing on now. I hate taking medication and can often be reluctant to do so. After 2+ weeks! the Amitiza was nit helping the constipation so I was advised to use 24 mcg twice a day.
Avatar n tn I have these bloated, distention, nausea, constipation (sometimes) for about 20 years. Colonoscopy and gastroenteroscopyn always show clear and fine. I was prescribed Amitiza 8 mg 2 years ago. There was a point that I felt ok for 3 months in a row recently. But unfortunately, it came back again. It really bothers my daily life and work. What should I do?
Avatar n tn My daughter began amitiza and it has worked wonderfully, however, she is spotting in between periods. Is this common?
974371 tn?1424653129 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. I am eating very bland food when I do eat, mainly gluten free cereal or oatmeal with Lactaid milk and soup and crackers. Cannot believe the test of my life will be like this.
Avatar f tn I have pain in the same place and same type that you describe. I also have migraines, gas, and nausea. I have gone through every test which found gastroparesis, lactose intolerance, acid reflux, and a gastrointestinal motility disorder. One test you can still try is a sits-marker test which will show how long it takes stuff to get through your entire system. What medications are you on for the constipation?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn I have severe abdominal bloating/distention, rapid weight gain (put 25 pounds on in less than 2 weeks), stingy sensation up and down my lower legs (front) almost burning and my fingers tingle/feel swollen, fatigue (wake up tired, tired after eating, and sleep whenever not at work), waking up tired, muscle soreness, joint pain, nausea, and my stomach is warm to the touch and hurts.
Avatar f tn I just started Amitiza last week. And I think it is causing nausea, as well, but I do need to adjust to it so it forces my bowel to move, until I get a diagnosis as to why I have no function. My D.O. said it would be easier on my system than the harsh laxatives he had me take during the program. I can handle milk, so I drink milk and eat pudding and ice cream.
Avatar n tn 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.
2102085 tn?1350866645 I went to a gastroenterologist the next day and she thought it was IBS and prescribed me Amitiza and Bentyl. I have been on the Amitiza and it makes me have frequent watery BMs...and the Bentyl does not do much. The pain is constant and I feel like I'm pregnant I'm so bloated (I'm not!) could this really just be IBS? Could the pain be reproductive (i.e. ovarian cysts) I'm going to school for nursing and it is really interfering with my education...
1168718 tn?1464983535 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...
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn ve tried an ibs diet, liquid diets, giving up dairy and wheat, flagyll, amitiza, prednisone, cyproheptadine, zoloft, bentyl, and right now I'm on lexapro for what doctors presume is a seratonin imbalance in my stomach (because my twin has OCD they thought this might be related seeing as how she had a seratonin imbalance in her brain).
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn There does not seem to be much available for my gastroparesis, since Reglan made me sick, Amitiza is not covered by my insurance, and I have no idea if Novardis will accept me to go on Zelnorm. All this and I am only 22 and my 19 year old brother also has gastroparesis. What do you do to deal with gastroparesis and its effects? Any recommendations?
946915 tn?1271941032 Thanks and yes...I've had all the tests you mentioned above done. The only ones that showed anything was the CT scan showed a small kidney stone and the gastric emptying scan showed moderate to severe gastroparentsis. I need to work on the multiple smaller meals...I typically try to keep semi-healthy snacks at work and just eat dinner. I do try to eat low-fat...maybe I'm eating fiborous things and don't realize it. We tried amitiza and it did nothing...
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn discomfort ( whole abdomen , sides back everything lol ) , nausea vomiting cramps and occasional noises , i usually have constipation from a pudendal nerve damage i have but the antispasm drugs have given me the opposite and made all these much werse , does anybody have any ideas or suggestions ? another thing is my mum has had ibs for yrs and my symptoms are nothing like hers but i heard there is more than one type of ibs ? i dunno but id be greatful for a reply thanks . .
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Actually, you said right thigh. Mine is in the left thigh. Constipation would tend to cause this in the left thigh more often than the right thigh. You need to have your abdomen examined. You might have a cyst or something over there, pressing on the anterolateral cutaneous nerve.
