I am having trouble with bloating with it. At first I thought it was helping with the constipation but now it doesn't seem to be helping with that. I have been on it a few weeks now. You might ask your Dr. if you can try the Mitformin. My Dr. put me on it over a year ago. It is used for diabetes but it is working for some of my stomach issues. I'm not diabetic so I'm not on it for that. I developed breathing problems about 2 months ago and he put me on the Amitiza in hopes it would help make my stomach work better. He thinks the food is backing up in me and laying on my lungs. I do know I have cronic constipation. My surgeon saw that on the test I had a couple of months ago. I was like that over a year ago when they ran test. They say my system is shutting down and thats why they are trying these things. I think mine was caused from meds too. Don't know which ones but to me the side effects of some are worse then the results.

I am off of all of my pain meds except when I am having a bad day. I used 3 lidocaine patches last night due to the weather change. I try not to do any pain meds due to the side effects they cause.

I hope it works for you. I am having trouble with the bloating as I said so I don't know if I want to stay on it. So far I have.
