I've been miserable for about six months now. It all started with a bout of food poisoning or an allergic reaction to some fried chicken I ate. For a while after that incident I've had horrible diarrhea, then it turned to soft pencil thin stools and now constipation. I've tried so many things and nothing seems to work. On Monday my doctor gave me samples of Amitiza, so far whenever I do go the stools seem to be getting a bit softer, but I'm also experiencing headaches, nausea and my heart is racing like crazy. I'm giving it one more week. [/b] I also have Fibromyalgia and MCS, I'm lactose intollerant, allergic to wheat, soy and tomatoes. I would like to know what has worked for others and if by any chance they have the same illnesses.Thanks, tuta90
