Comment:
I have been taking 24 mcg twice daily since May 12 and the medicine has not helped me. My insurance company does not pay for this. Also, I am taking Miralax once daily. I am still gassy, constipated, bloated, and light cramping. I have no clue what the next step is since my gasteronologist has not diagnose me? I guess I will find out June 25.

Comment:
I have no idea if it REALLY works or not. I also take daily stool softeners, Glycolax and 30 grams of fiber. With all of this, some days I do have a BM, some days I don't. That's my form of IBS. Before the IBS no problem. Does the drug work? Can't say it does or not. Sure can't say it works that well for me or I wouldn't need all that other stuff, would I?

It is an easy medication to take and works well. One thing that is very good about this medication is that it works but does not cause symptoms like diarehea.
