Zelnorm

Does anyone here use it? It's for IBS with constipation. I'm concerned of its effects on us posties, as it is a possiblity for me to have to take this. Nona

Nona, I am drinking prune juice now. I was sick a few weeks ago and in the hospital with stomach pains . Constipation is my biggest problem. I am on Protonics now twice daily. I don't know about zelnorm. Ask you DR. Have a great day and feel great....Lorraine

I wish prunes would work for me. Even with increased fruit, I still got impacted. MOM is the only thing that helps, so if the colonoscopy doens't show anything, my PCP suggested this. She is looking into the effects of it on posties. Nona

I use it. I also have IBS with constipation. It is helping me. I have also had to start taking iron pills so it is sort of a double whammy. On occasion I still have to take some stool softners or some Peridium. No side effects.

My symptoms, besides constipation, are mild to moderate cramps, gurgling, bloating and sometimes downright pain. Does that sound like IBS to you?

I don't have the gurgling but the pain, bloating, hard, extended abdomen and cramps are my symptoms. I would go and talk to your doctor.

I have to go for a colonoscopy first, to rule out any problems, then she said we'd go from there. Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.
