Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | zelnorm and antidepressants please help!

I'm on Zelnorm right now and I'm taking 3mg. I actually had diarrhea again and crapped my bed and my pants twice. Sorry about being so graphic. I'm trying to get off of Lexapro and Klonopin right now as I was rushed to the ER yesterday because I was so weak and tired and not respnding to anything. I could be getting side effects from getting off the medication but I am tapering myself off of it. I see the psychiatrist today. I try taking Citrucel and Oatmeal in the morning. I need help trying to get my colon in order. I have no idea what the colon looks like right now and why I'm always having so much trouble with constipation but I think the pills don't help. I'm trying to balance out my diet but it's so hard as I has the nissen fundoplication Sept 2nd and I get very bloated. I'm taking fennel seed caplets right now. I also taken Amylase and stuff for the colon. It's hard taking Oatmeal because it gets stuck in the esophagus because of the surgery. I don't know what else I can take. I'm just so frustrated with this whole thing. It's hard having fiber because of the surgery. I have no idea if the Zelnorm is making things worse or what. I see the gastro doctor December 3rd. Please give me some ideas as it's hard with all the gas and everything. The Lexapro and Klonopin was making me way too dopey. Just give me some ideas out there please. I don't want anything too complex to make.
