Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: For past and present Zelnorm users

Well my doctor explained it this way. He actually gave me refills for one year. He knows I come on this web site and he actually said everything sounded pretty good and that I should adjust my diet accordingly. Now I think we can all agree that Heather's diet is a big help as far trying to show us how to take care of ourselves in eating the right foods to help us evacuate. Having said that he told me that Zelnorm would tell my body to have more normal contractions in the colon. He also said that after a year of training your body to do its job right, at some point it has to start doing it on its own. I guess it's like going through therapy if you have an accident and can't walk for a while and after you go through therapy you should be able to walk pretty normal again. Now i'm not saying I will not have to take it again, but for now I have been able to have normal bowel movements without it as long as I watch what type of foods I eat and my SF and IF. I hope this helps.
