Constipation

I too am in your place and i take alot of pain meds for my back i tried everything that my doctor recommended like what everyone else said and nothing helped. Untill one day i saw a ad on tv for a prescription for people who have constipation problems i called up my Primary dr. and told him about it  and he prescribed it. It is the only thing that helps me to go. ITs called Amatiza its a new drug that just came out. I take it 2 times a day with food and its small.  Any questions let me know. GOOD LUCK> 311\160

Thanks to all who answered.  I have a question about the prescription.  Did it work right away?  Are there any side effects?

Fiber cereal really helps. I take two softeners every day which helps but if I need to go then I eat a bowl of South Beach cereal with some protein powder in it or some cracklin oat bran and fage yogurt. Works in a jiffy. I did notice if I eat cereal every day it wont help. Only when I need it I eat it and then Im good to go.
