This video is the eighth installment of the IBS series and compares popular IBS-C drugs Linzess and Trulance.
Timestamps / Table of Contents:
✩ Intro: 0:00
✩ What Are Linzess & Trulance: 1:12
Linzess is linaclotide. Trulance is plecanatide. Both drugs belong to the same class-they are both guanylate cyclase-C agonists.
✩ How Do Linzess & Trulance Work: 2:27
Both Linzess and Trulance increase the amount of fluid in the intestines, which softens stool and increases intestinal transit time. They may help to decrease abdominal pain, but this has only been proven in non-human animal studies. Both drugs are meant to be taken daily. Linzess is taken on an empty stomach 30 minutes before eating. Trulance can be taken with or without food.

→ How Does Trulance Work? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
✩ History, Price, & Drug Interaction Considerations: 7:10
Linzess was the first approved guanylate cyclase-C agonist on the market in 2012. Trulance was approved in 2017. Both drugs cost around $500 for a 30 day supply and are usually not covered by insurance. Linzess has known drug interactions with: levothyroxine, bisacodyl, psyllium, magnesium hydroxide, and omeprazole. Trulance is known to interact with idelalisib.

Question does trulance cause UTI?
@@Weloveyoupyrex Hmm, I'm not sure how the medication itself would cause a UTI. Maybe if someone's body was getting used to the medication and had diarrhea as a response, they could be more prone to UTIs? A lot of UTIs are caused by e. coli, and diarrhea definitely encourages e. coli to travel to the urethra!
@@PelvicEmpowerment اين اجد دواء لينزيس او ترولانس في الدول العربية هل هو موجود ارجوا الرد يادكتورة من فضلك
I've suffered ibs for many years. Trulance and linsess are so expensive and cause extreme diarrhea.
I've found that squeezing half a lemon into a glass of simply limeade every nite before bed moves my bowels every morning. I've been doing this for a couple months and go ,like clockwork every morning.
God bless you.
Interesting, because I get lucky some mornings if I drink Walmart brand Mix Berry juice before bed.
Was just practiced Lins today. Diarrhea in the first six hours. So this is very strong because it's very hard for me. However, hopefully it works out in the end or I know it will take some time for my body to get used to. Happy pooping everybody
Drink Hydrite (Eirosol) for dehydration..
I have used both! I've had best luck with linzess
I just want to point out that you delivered your message better than any other I've ever heard all the way back to let's just say as far as I can remember! Please keep up the great work, you set the bar extremely high for everyone else!
I am absolutely over the moon that you made this video!! For someone who has struggled with pelvic floor dysfunction and ibs-c I have been on a LONG journey! After trying linzess in 2018 and not having good results with it and it losing its effectiveness, i had to resort to every laxative under the sun as well as pelvic floor therapy and I was SO miserable and the skinniest and sickest I had ever been! Since going through all of that! I finally have come a long way! I now avoid gluten, soy and dairy and eggs and it’s been a game changer for the pain aspect/nausea but I still unfortunately struggle with constipation! Not as severely as before but still frequently! No rhyme or reason for it! My doctor just brought up trulance today and after I heard the recommendation, I came on here to search UA-cam for review! Your video was the first I came across and I truly believe everything happens for a reason! You answered everything I was needing to hear! It’s people like you who really do make a difference and help so many of us!
I am so sorry to hear all that you've been through trying to navigate pelvic dysfunction and IBS-C, but I am so happy to hear that you've made so much progress and figured out what dietary interventions work best for you and your GI system ❤️
I'm really glad that this video was helpful for you as you figure out how to manage the remaining constipation you experience! Thank you so much for your kind words, and I wish you nothing but the best in your continued healing 🤗
Sorry Trulace!!! Works
Have you tried going to a GI motility doctor? My mother has gastroenterology parents and there are procedures and equipment that can help with that.
@@kristieherrera8560Thank you k you, as l am unfortunately Queen Of all these not fun things..stomach always issue 50 yrs ..Best doc is UA-cam..l KNOW motility n body imbalance is reason for my 😢. But sadly my GYN n my gastroenterologist are not gonna team up. THANK YOU for being kind. I hope to find what you said , hopefully my insurance will 👍🏻...if l don't fix ALL, I w not experience the gift of good health. May yoh be blessed along with your family.
Everything I try works for a little bit and then stops working. Including Linzess. What elate the pelvic floor exercises you do? I can’t find anyone who takes insurance
I'm a recent subscriber, I just want to say thank you sooo much for your videos! They are such a great help! Lots of love from the UK..❤
Thank you so much for subscribing! Your support truly means the world to me, and I'm really glad to know my content is helpful for you. Sending you lots of love back from across the pond 🤗
Trulance just started two days ago...had all kinds of tests; 3 different stool test for colitis, cancer, blood test...couldn't figure out for months? Truelance stopped some very serious pain in two days ...yes diarrhea first not second day ...i subscribed. I'm am a 61 yr old male. Thanks for caring for all!
I'm so sorry to learn that you were in pain for months, but I'm so happy that Trulance has brought you such relief! I hope it ends up helping you in your healing, and thank you so much for subscribing 🤗 your support means the world!
Thank you for the breakdown and explanation. Your video is very informative!
Thank you so much for explaining so well. God bless you.
Thank you for this! It was definitely helpful
Very thorough and fair comparison of these 2 drugs. I am having success with Linzess with small changes in timing of my doses. However, I just found out my insurance will not cover it, while it does cover Trulance as a top tier drug. Your video calmed my anxiety by showing there is another good alternative. Thank you!
I'm so glad this was a helpful video for you, and I hope you find continued success in your transition to Trulance 🧡
Amazing video thank you!
Nice and useful! Thanks.
Linzess stopped working for me as well, so I’m going to try Trulance. Thank you!
I hope it does the trick and that you get to feeling better soon 🧡
Thanks for this information ❤
Thank you very very much.
Super informative awesome video!!!!! 🤩 🙏thank you so much
thanks for your hard work
So glad it's been helpful for you 🤗
Great explanation, thank you so much - better than my doctor visit. My doctor gave me samples of Trulance, he ignored the price! I can't afford them...he should have asked. I have slow transition I think it's age related, I now run, do yoga and take psyllium caps and prune juice. I'm not constipated but it's not normal either, too wet and too many movements. Trying to find the balance is difficult, going to try no prune juice as that has made things where I need 4 trips to the bathroom in the morning. Getting older sucks.
I'm so glad that this video was helpful for you, but I'm so sorry to learn that you're struggling with keeping your stool consistency normal. It sounds like you've trialed different interventions and are working on creating a routine with the right combination for you. It can be tricky and frustrating, but it sounds like you're figuring out your GI system and what works best for it, slowly but surely! Guts don't love change, and they can take a little while to get used to a new routine, but don't give up on your body! Bodies are amazing, and they are capable of such healing when we give them the optimal supportive environments - and it sounds like you're close to figuring out what that supportive environment looks like for your body 🧡
Thank you so much for this series. It's been very educational and informative to me as I suffer from this and taking Linzess. I want to fix it without all these drugs because I'm miserable on Linzess.
I'm so sorry that you're suffering, but I'm really glad this series has been helpful for you! It can be so frustrating, navigating a more "mysterious" condition - but bodies are really incredible and they're capable of SO much healing when we support them with the right environments. It's figuring out what those environments look like that can be so tricky, especially when medicine doesn't have any real direction to offer. Your body is no exception, keep embracing trial and error, and don't give up 🧡
I agree I’m so miserable also . Now I’m trying see any psychedelic medicine that’s how sick of it I am of nothing works .
Hey tory (please correct my spelling). So I was on linaclotide amatriptalin and pregabalin .......(I would rather die) than go back on it. As you know it's surgery now for me... I think when I first started it I told you how horrible it was... I have never in my life gone through torture but my Gastrointestinal specialist certanly put me through the wringer.
That increased fluid pushes the hard lump towards the exit and when you poop for the first time it's like firing a rock out your arse followed by a whole lot of water at force!. I have recorded every BM I have had in the last 3 years. 30bms a day....watching them you are able to tell when I am on the drug and when I am not. and I can testify to the side effects of linzes. The joy of having a Marked Gastrocolic Reflex.
Brilliant to see you looking somewhat better.
I am so sorry that your* experience with Linzess was so intense, but thank you for sharing it so openly here! Hopefully others experiencing harder side-effects will see your comment and feel less alone ❤️
And thank you! It’s been about 4.5 months know, just around the 19-20 week mark. I’ve not had any pain for more than 2 weeks which is amazing. Now I either feel normal or I feel non-painful nerve symptoms (pressure, tingles, temperature changes, I bet you have an idea of what I’m talking about!)
Keep me posted on your surgery! And it’s Tori 😊
Heaps of love beloved 😘😘😘😘😘♥️♥️♥️♥️
Heaps of love back 😘♥️
I believe that I have a constriction in my large intestine much like an hour glass. When I had a barium enema years ago they could only get the barium halfway up the large intestine and on the flouriscope I could see that the bowel was constricted there and would not let the barium mixture flow past the blockage. they gave me a shot and told me that I might get nausea. That was the understatement of the century. this nausea came at me as though I was tied down on a track and the train was coming in the distance. Then it hit me and I dry heaved like I was having a bad hangover. I can feel pain at times on my side above the large intestine and can hear fluid squishing through and this sometimes feels like a steak knife poking my gut. I am very fortunate that I can get my Trulance from the VA and it costs me 12 dollars a Month. Trulance worked for me within two hours when I first took it,
I have never heard of those I have only ever used Buscopan (hyoscine Butylbromide) and I get the feeling it doesnt work after a while?
We used to liken peristalses to how a worm moves. It lengthens its body to move forward then contracts to pull the back end after it and its these lengthening and contracting movements in the worms peristalses that are how your gut pushes food through itself. By lengthening and narrowing followed by contractions which shorten and widen. After having listened to you I think I could live without either of these and really feel that understanding my own body and what its sensitive to is a much more sensible approach.
I'm not familiar with Buscopan, but other medicines related to the gut can, over time, lose efficacy (I'm thinking stimulant laxatives and the like).
I love the peristalsis and worm movement imagery! And it's really cool that understanding your body and its sensitivities feels like the better approach to you. I never, ever, shame anyone for their choice to pursue pharmaceutical interventions - I truly believe they can be life-giving and life-saving - but I always opt for them as a last resort, if trying to understand my body and support her naturally isn't working. It's cool that you're going that route, and I really hope it works for you 🧡
wow i love your report much better than the doctor's very good
\
i was just prescribed linzess by my gi doctor but im such a health worrier that i couldnt help but look into it...ive seen such awful things happen from people taking linzess and a study showed it was responsible for many hospitalizations and a handful of deaths....im really scared to take it now, but theres such few treatments for ibsc :(
I'm so sorry that you're feeling scared. Medications are tricky, in that all of them have side-effects, and there's no real way of knowing how a medication will affect your specific body without trying it first. I wish I could tell you what the right decision is, but unfortunately, I cannot :( I can only encourage you to trust your intuition, do your research, and have open conversations with your providers.
IBS-C can be difficult to treat, and you're right. There aren't a lot of treatment options available. Have you considered or tried pelvic physical therapy at all? While a pelvic PT cannot treat the IBS, she can help to correct any dysfunction in the pelvic floor/abdomen that may be contributing, assess your rectal tissue health and sensitivity, work with you to create an optimized bowel routine, and potentially help you with more conservative dietary-based management interventions! If you live in the US, you can use this directory to find a provider near you: pelvicrehab.com/
I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful, and I do truly wish you the best in your healing. Don't give up - bodies are capable of immense healing when we support them with the right environments, it's figuring out what that environment looks like that can be so tricky. Your body is no exception 🧡
i take both levothyroxine and omepraxole.....supposed to start Linzess but now confused as to when to take it. Thanks for the informed video
Thank you for making this series!
How is your injury doing? See that you still lean while seated.
You're so welcome, I'm really glad it's helpful for you!
And you're so sweet for asking, thank you. I am almost at the 20 week mark now, and the wonderful news is that I haven't had any painful symptoms in over two weeks! Now my symptoms are either me feeling normal, or me feeling non-painful nerve symptoms (pressure/tingles/temperature change). Nerve healing is painful, but I am hopeful this means I've entered a new phase of healing 🤗 hope you are well!
@@PelvicEmpowerment Doing ok with meds, heat is killing me and makes my IBS-D worse but still manageable.
Get well!
Thank you
Fascinating. How do they compare to Miralax, colase, etc other over the counter drugs?
By the way Linzess is now covered by Medicare drug plan as a “tier 3” (perhaps higher I forget) which means there is an annual $425 deductible on the tier but only $40 per month after that.
Thank you so much for sharing about the Medicare coverage! And that's a good question. Miralax is an osmotic laxative (it draws water into the intestines which both softens the stool and stimulates peristalsis), Colace is technically a stool softener, not a laxative, because it doesn't stimulate peristalsis. But Linzess and Trulance have different mechanisms of action than OTC drugs like Miralax and Colace, they're intended for longer term use specifically for people with chronic constipation, and they seem to sometimes have a soothing effect on abdominal pain!
Great information
Yay! So glad it was helpful for you 🤗
Hello beautiful, that was such an extremely insightful video! I’m so happy I found you. I had been taking Linzess for a while now thinking it was the only option since all else fails or isn’t good for the body not knowing that it interacted with levothyroxine, which I am on for hypothyroidism. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome, which I think being constipated has a lot to do with & micro prolapse valve which I’m told makes me take on water in the body in my heart and also water goes into my lungs. I guess everywhere else than in the bowels 🤦🏼♀️ I took the 5 marker test and was told they barely moved at all after the five days but my coverage doesn’t cover the drug so I’ve been getting it from a doctor who gives me the samples. I guess they don’t know it interacts with levelthyroxine & might be why some people complain of fatigue after because if they have hypothyroidism and they’re on that medication, when they introduce Linzess and it takes away from that medicine it could have them feeling fatigued bc hypothyroidism makes you feel tired, and the medicine helps to combat that. I just got a sample of Truelance and wanted to see the differences luckily I found your video bc I would have never known the medicine interactions. I’ve never heard of trueLance, but Linzess commercials are everywhere and under side effects. It never states that there are any drug interactions. Given my diagnosis of chronic fatigue among all the others I’m told are taking away from my energy I can’t afford to deal with the medicine that makes you feel fatigued, or interacts with levelthyroxine. Thank you for all your help!
Thanks for nice information 😳
So glad it was helpful for you ❤️
for over 2 years of constantly searching, i just stumble upon Trulance, Linzess i think is not available in Canada, i never realized there are more people dealing the same thing as i am, as most research is focused on IBS- D. its been tiresome having to deal with this every single day, i never felt normal. hopefully Trulance will work with me.
I have 10yrs with CIC, Gastroparesis, etc. Been using saline enemas for almost every bowel movement since 2014. Also- for me, magnesium citrate works well with coconut water + dulcolax pink added to force BM's. This is how i prep for colo procedures. Mirilax does very little for me. Neither does fiber. Exercise helps very little and can sometimes cause me even MORE pain. Multivitamin use helps some. Sometimes I get lucky if i drink Walmart brand Berry Blend juice before bed. The med Linzess gave me intense enuresis reactions and i quickly discontinued use. About to try Trulance. Also, i suspect that i may be suffering from AHP - Acute Hepatic Porphyria as a root cause to my complex autosomal dysfunction.
Thank you 😀
You're so welcome ♥️
Been on linzess for a few months now. Works great but have to wake up extra early to have it work before leaving the house. Still having diarrhea after a few months of taking it. But it’s better than the constipation. I no longer have the gas & bloating all day like I did before linzess. But my doc is concerned so I need to provide a stool sample and he has me on a sample of trulance now for the week. Hopefully it’ll be just as effective minus the diarrhea.
Trulance 3MG my Copay would be $128.00 which i can not afford monthly. But im in so much pain. IBS is no joke, food just wont digest properly. Waiting to have SIBO test.
Thanks for ur video 😊😊
Squeeze half lemon into glass of simply limeade at bedtime. It works !
God bless you
@@donaldclay158 I’m going to try this. I love the idea of a natural approach before taking prescriptions. New primary doc just sent me home with linzess. I’m going to try your trick tonight first . How long did it take once you started to see results?
TY for your info. I am 85yrs old with a Hx of CIC..and now I am taking Ferrous Sulfate which is very constipating. I am a retired RN. I have hyperparathyroidism non treated and unresolved….also Iron Deficiency Anemia. I take Ferrous SulfateAll recently diagnosed. I live in Henderson NV. WHERE MEDICAL CARE IS LESS THAN ADEQUATE. I have taken Linzess with no effect except explosive diarrhea. I have taken Dulcolax with it because I had no BM for seven days at a time. Can you give me any advice on what to do next . I am getting very discouraged. 🙏🙏🙏
For the first time I am trying on a trail for Trulance that my doctor described for me I hope it work for bloated and gas.
I’ve been taking Trulance for 3 weeks and I still only have a bm every three days. How long does it take for this medicine to work? I still have to rely on miralax to have a bm too, i feel like Trulance is not worth taking at this point.
How does Magnesium Citrate or Oxide compare wrt efficacy and side effects to these 2 drugs? Why were these drugs developed, other than to generate more patents for profits?
Hello it's been one yr I'm diagnosed with STC (slow transit C) now my bowel became too much lazy caused by GENETIC CHANGE. and not responding for medicines like lubowel, pruvict,lactihep+.
How should i improve motility plz guide me. My doctor said that wait until you turn 25 yrs (I'm 19) so colon muscle will grow so your condition will improve . Is it true what he said??? .why my doctor is not recommending linaclotide. How is your condition sister improved or hurting.
NOTE: my STC caused by genetic change but not Neuropathy or muscle damage.
Finally my question is will it lead to colon surgery??? Hope you will read my comment and reply.
Brilliant video Tory....oh I also had fecal transplant...so hit me up if you want first hand info. That was an experience. I had all three types...
I’m glad you thought so! And thank you so much for the offer! I’ll keep you in mind when I make that video 💛
How did the fecal transplant go? Im considering it?
@@jsmith31451 life altering. Like being reborn anew. I had more energy. I had better head space. I could eat more and enjoy more. Sadly it wasn't a permanent solution for me but I will do it again!
@@andrewjames4346 how long did it last? The affects wore off?
@@jsmith31451 they didn't wear off...i just have a series of 7 gi issues and ended up on antibiotics. I am highly sensitive to them and they wiped out my new bacteria. But I got around 5months or so of perfect living!
please, is there any solution for a woman that had gone through CS twice in the cause of giving birth? the doctor said she has a man pelvic and that was why she could not birth naturally except through CS. is there any solution if peradventure she wants to have another baby or someone might need advice on this matter. thanks so much for your response
Hi! It sounds like you're asking me if a woman who has had a c-section twice due to having a narrow pelvis would be able to have another baby? I am so honored that you feel comfortable asking me this question, but this sounds like a unique case that would need to be evaluated in person by a medical professional. I really wish I could be more helpful, and I wish you and yours nothing but the best ♥️
I eat well and drink water. Howevervi have a redundant colon. Which would be best,?😢
Is Trulance habit forming? Like will I continue to need it forever ?
I take it at bedtime and every other day. It works for me within a day. No other issue's at all. Trulance was very expensive, linsess has been a life saver. Trulance was not a good choice for me😢
When I go poop most it's like real dark and slimy it looks like there's a bunch of little stuff in there like I don't know looks nasty I've been taking that medicine lanessa but I feel like it doesn't even work my poop is smaller than my pinky finger could you help
I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with defecation. I wish I could be more helpful, but I cannot give individualized medical advice, and I don't really have any way of knowing more about you/your body without assessing you myself.
That being said, have you ever heard of pelvic physical therapy? A good pelvic PT would be able to assess your pelvis, body, and lifestyle habits to try and help you piece together why you're experiencing smaller-sized poop that doesn't seem right to you.
If you live in the US, you can use this directory to find a provider near you: pelvicrehab.com
Don't give up on your body's ability to heal 💛
Are they saying that you are to remain constipated for 1 to 2 wks until it works?
Yes, sometimes these kinds of medications take a couple of weeks to have the desired effect!
If taking Linzess at night, do you take it 30 mins before dinner or literally before bed? I’m on thyroid meds, so I think it’s a better option. Also, while waiting for it to work, what can you use to ease constipation safely? Food doesn’t work for me.
I've been on it 2 months and if you don't work outside your home it's best to take it in the morning,if you take it at night you'll be up all night on the pot !!
Gave me side effect I will not be taking it severe dirrea and muscle spasm
Cause me have weakness
Is 3 mg trulance is enough?
I tried linzess and I kept throwing up black liquid, literally felt like I was throwing up my poop
Ohhh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I hope you've since found a better option 🧡
Check your gallbladder 😮
Severe diarrhea when taking Linzess!!!
I have Great insurance but it will not pay for Trulance
1:43
This was great! Do you have a video about not being able to move even soft stools? For lack of more eloquent words… when your anus doesn’t open to push out even diarrhea?
I think I'm having this issue . I would think fiber bulk forming , but those just make me more bloated and in pain to go, but cant go.. so IDK . Hope we get answers
The fatigue comes from running to the toilet multiple times a day and having the world fall out your bottom over 20min per time in the loo....it also comes from having to wash clothing (because of stealthy ninja poops) and then needing to get into the shower to clean up.
😔
I just started the drug today and it’s already working. I think I’m going to have to end up lowering the dosage if it keeps on. So far most of my abdominal pain is gone; but the little that’s left has moved into a different spot.
Good luck.....
Sameness here!😅
I just started taking linzess, I am still in the reviewing stage. Week 1
I hope it is helpful for you ❤️
Works at first a trainwreck later i would not recommend.
It's crazy that Trulance helps you to poop but makes you gain weight.
Definitely! I wonder if you end up retaining water in other parts of the body, not just the intestines. Not sure!
Linzess works amazingly well but the side effects are ugly. Since I started taking it I noticed my hair thinning out , also hair loss, fatigue, very dry mouth and a confused gloomy mood.
Try taking it before bed. I’ve been taking LINZESS for 10 years. And it’s changed my life. Taking before bed helps my body run all the stool during the night, and 6-8 hours later I have a great bowel movement in the morning. It’s mostly diarrhea. But my pain and discomfort are gone for the day!
I have been taking linezz for a week. Cause of it will take 2 to 3 weeks I am still on laxatives smooth move tea, 4 casara sagrada, miralax, and antacid..It hurts my back to squeeze when constipated. It will also go all of the inside by my vagina. I'm going to try your exercises to see if this will help me. I was told to get off all laxatives cause my colonoscopy showed some of colon was black.
Hmm, seeing you say that you have pain with defecation and the feeling of stool going inside by your vagina, it may be helpful for you to get a pelvic physical therapist on your healthcare team! A pelvic PT could assess your pelvic floor/surrounding musculature/lifestyle habits and help you figure out why you're having back pain with defecation/the feeling of something by your vagina, and help you treat those things!
If you live in the US, you can use this directory to find a provider near you: pelvicrehab.com
If you choose to use a pelvic PT, be sure to ask the front desk if the provider you're being paired with can treat bowel dysfunction, not all pelvic PTs are trained in this area.
Don't give up on your body! Body's are capable of immense healing, and so is yours ♥️
I've been on Linzess for 26 days. I am taking smooth move tea with it. I've been eating peaches, blueberries, strawberries shakes with fiber in it. I was eating tomatoes but I started coughing a lot having bronchiectasis. So I stopped them. Yesterday I was going much. Today I'm impacted in with hard poop. Put my finger in vagina and felt it all the way up to vagina wall. I also had eggs yesterday. I put my finger in rectrum to help it come out. I've also been doing massage my intestines.
@@joycethomas1731 You could try some Yoga and the massages with Psyllium added to your diet., it has helped me.
