Hello there, I never heard of NuLev. Is that better that zelnorm? I need something for the pain, I seem to have pain 24/7. I been doing kind of better with my C, but the pain won't stop. HELP PLEASE !!! Thank you.
I just wanted to say that I've been taking NuLev every now and then since I was diagnosed with IBS (D) four years ago. It does seem to help the pain, sometimes, anyway. But the side effects can be really annoying. It gives me awful dry mouth, to the point where I can't speak without coughing and get a sore throat from it being so dry. Also, whatever the active ingredient is, it sort of keeps you from sweating. I live in Central Florida, where we have a lot of 95-degree days, no breeze, and a very high amount of humidity. I've had a few episodes of heat exhaustion from having to walk around in these conditions while taking the NuLev. Also, I took it once and then went for a workout -- BAD IDEA. I had to go to the bathroom and pour water over my head to keep from passing out from being so overheated. But, if you're having bad pain and you can stay in cool conditions and have lots of water or tea or something to keep your mouth moist, it's worth it.
