I wanna answer I wanna answer I wanna answer!!!!!

GENERIC NAME: lubiprostone

BRAND NAME: Amitiza

DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Lubiprostone is an oral medication used for the treatment of idiopathic (i.e., due to an unknown cause), chronic constipation. One of the common causes of chronic constipation is slow transit of stool through the colon that allows too much fluid to be removed from the stool, leading to hard or lumpy stools, abdominal pain or discomfort, straining during bowel movements, and difficulty passing stools. Signs and symptoms of chronic constipation can be reduced by increasing fluid in the stool. Lubiprostone causes an increase in the secretion of fluid into the intestines. The added fluid softens the stool and also may speed up transit of stool in the colon. Lubiprostone was approved by the FDA in January, 2006.

Even though you don't know what it is, you should go to your doctor to see if he can prescribe it for you.

You'd have to admit to having had a long-term problem with being FOS, first...
