Linzess has been a miracle drug for me. I never realized how much better a "normal" person feels ! I've been able to swim laps & I'm almost 70 yrs old!
Preservatives and DYES! Yes. Also, make sure with ibs-d to eat more soluble fiber, never eat insoluble fiber foods alone. I also take citrucil, cultures and florastor.
