About these medications-what is the general opinion? Do most of you take them? When my doctor told me that I have IBS I chose to just try and do this the natural way (change diet, exercise more, and use vitamins). However, my friend tells me her grandmother uses meds for her IBS. She said that her grandmother can eat most foods, but it is still hard. For those of you that do use meds, what do you feel the benefits are? Do you still eat as if you were not on medication or do you get to enjoy trigger foods without pain? I guess I just felt like it was better (for me) to change my lifestyle than to pay for medication for the rest of my life. Can anyone tell me if I'm wrong in thinking this? If you do take these meds, please write me and tell me what you honestly think.

This is a great topic - I'm going to post this question as a new thread subject. We've had a lot of posts about people taking anti-spasmodics and how effective they are/aren't, but we haven't had much discussion about Lotronex and Zelnorm. It will be interesting to see what people say.

Thanks!
