I'm so glad to read this thread because I ditched the zelnorm after only 2 weeks and have had moments where I've wondered if I should have given it more of a chance. Now, I don't think so. It did nothing - I mean nothing! Except give me awful headaches. And I took it religiously according to the prescription. I too hate to be on medicine and if it's not a long term solution I don't see the real benefit. Same reason my bottle of Miralax is in the medicine cabinet never opened. That's just me!

I used Zelnorm for 3 months and it helped me immensely. I can't tell you how nice it was to have that first normal bowel movement. That 3 month relief gave me time to get in a new routine of eating habits. Boy -and I thought I ate healthy before. I don't know anyone who eats better than I now. After figuring out what foods work for me and what don't, I can control my symptoms about 90% of the time. Here's to healthy eating a regular excercise! Heather

It worked for me too!!! I am on my second course and it really helps tremendously with C although I don't thing any works better than Phazyme and Fennel Tea for bloating. But unfortunately it doesn't work for everyone

I am so glad that this topic came up. Zelnorm is something I have considered taking as a last resort. I am IBS-C and am doing very well on Heather's diet and switching back and forth about every month between Metamucil and Fibercon. I too have had ovarian cysts and have endometriosis and for now I think I'll put Zelnorm on hold. Thanks everyone for the great info! Leah

I saw your message on the IBS message board. I hope you can help me. I am a graduate student at George Washington University. I am in the process of finishing my thesis about women who are taking or have taken the prescription medication Zelnorm. I need about ten women volunteers. The purpose of my paper is to interview these women over a 2 month period to gather data on their quality of life before and after taking Zelnorm. You will only be identified as "case" studies. I would love to speak with you. If you are interested in participating, please email or give me a call. Thanks Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated. My phone number is (972) 223-5454 Thank you Kimberly
