zelnorm is the only thing that got me back on track. and heather's diet. right now i'm trying to get off the zelnorm. i know it's not a permanent thing....it's supposed to get you back on track. a lot of IF actually makes things worse for me. i make sure i have a lot of rice/pasta w/the IF. that seems to help me. also, i take fennel pills before i eat. i hope this helps.
