Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Almost a year and other stuff

Congratulations on the one year mark!!!! I was interested in this post because you mentioned you were on Zelnorm and loved it. You also mentioned further down that you were surprised it was still working so good for you. I was on Zelnorm for almost 3 years straight. I felt really good while on it (in combination with Heather's diet). And, I never felt it quit working for me. Then, I read a bunch of posts about it being bad and definitely NOT for long term use and how it might even get pulled from the market eventually so I got a bit scared. (Even though I asked several drs. about using it long term) So, I decided to wean myself off of it over the course of a month. I definitely notice a difference---more constipation, fewer bm's, and "funny feelings" of IBS that I didn't have for 3 years. I am thinking of starting up on it again. Do you ever worry about using it long term? Do you take 6 mg. two times a day? Let me know what you think about it, please? Thanks
