Just wanted to add that I was on the same dose of Zelnorm.....until it stopped working for me.... and it does stop after about 4 months. Didn't think I could stop, but I have and am managing so much better on an IBS friendly diet. As to my fruit, I have this pureed and drink in the morning (combo of juices, canned pears, bananas, papaya, canned fruit salad). So far so good. I always eat cooked veggies at lunch, and have recently started to drink a canned veggie juice in the evening. Stomach seems soooooo much better, but still trying to deal with constipation. Previously, I could not initiate a BM on my own at all, but now I have occasional ones, and hope to improve on my diet. I did recently try to reintroduce a small amount of chopped lettuce, but that did not work so well, so that is off my diet again. I have been on the diet for 2 1/2 months now, am using benefiber - 2 tbsp. At first, I was very bloated and gassy, probably because of the benefiber, but seem to be gradually doing better. Just give it some time. I have also been taking beano before my big meals.... as recommeded by some folks here!! Good luck.... recommend you forget the zelnorm, and whatever else you can.
