Can Linzess Help In Bowel Dysfunction Caused By Multiple Sclerosis?
I am trying to research Linzess, specifically how it might work with the nerves, to see if it would be beneficial for bowel dysfunction caused by multiple sclerosis. I have found some info on online groups about persons using it for this. My specific problem is decreased motility of the bowel.

Linzess (linactolide) is not indicated for bowel dysfunction caused by multiple sclerosis. But it may be tried as a symptomatic treatment for your reduced bowel motility as an off-label use. Linzess may help symptomatically but may not address the underlying problem.
I would recommend you to consult your gastroenterologist and discuss the above option.
