I finally got my results today--and I'm an IBSer alright! So my doc wants me to start zelnorm. he seems to think I should be able to eat meat, dairy, etc. just fine. What do you think? Anyone know anything about zelnorm? He says I should still exercise and he thinks hypnotherapy might be a good idea--my question/concern is: Will all my symptoms just go away from this medicine? What can I expect? the doc said my bloating and constipation should disappear and I should be able to eat anything but broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, etc. If anyone knows ANYTHING about zelnorm and what I can expect PLEASE write me back! I'm happy to be a member of the IBS club especially with such a great support group here! Thanks to everyone on this board--you're all amazing--I couldn't have gotten through the past week without you! It's WONDERFUL to know for sure that it's IBS (and nothing worse!) I had a hunch all along since I bought both of Heather's books about 4 months ago that it was IBS--and here I am! *phew*
Heather, thanks again for always being here for us!!! You're AMAZING!
