Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support Group

I started Zelnorm about 6 months ago and it help me to stay somewhat regular. Only thing is when I need to go--I can't wait. Also, your suppose to take it on an empty stomach and it makes me a bit queezy.

I have been on and off Zelnorm for months. I dont think that it works well for me on a daily basis. I feel the longer I was on it the less effective it was. It works well to take one when I am constipated. It is true when you gotta go you gotta go.

Is this for only woman? Also you can't take it when pregnant or tyring to get pregnant?

I was on this for almost 2 years. My GE doctor prescribed it and my GP continued to prescribe. I now find out that it is NOT for long term use and that it has bad side effects (I experienced yeast infections about every three weeks toward the end) and it has now been taken off the market becuase of health risks (heart) and I have a heart condition, so I am just lucky it didn't kill me. I will say besides initial "di", it worked wonders for me and masked my symptoms to a "t", however, not healthy for you in the long run!

I am upset because it is gone. I feel it really helped me keep up with things. without it going on 4 months I am very tired all the time, much more nauseated and cramped. I want it back. Although I am preparing to take an herbal remedy. hope it helps.Above all cured completely would be nice.
