Is Amitiza safe to take for IBS with constipation?

I have read mixed reviews on this medicine and have concerns with the side effects. Some people have had success with this medicine while others have had bad side effects. Wondering if it’s worth the risk.. I prefer more natural ways to treat IBS. Any feedback is appreciated about Amitiza! Thank you
