Just thought I'd share my zelnorm tale:
I'm a severe IBS-C sufferer, and very thankful that doctors can prescribe zelnorm to men. Apparently, in the trials, no difference was found in function of the drug, between men and women. In the study I read about, there was aproximately 2700 women involved and 80 men. Not enough for approval, I suppose.
I responded in just over a week. yes, I had a few days of diarrhea, but after the pain I'd been through, it was the most wonderful diarrhea ever. Much nicer than the 20+ bathroom breaks involved with taking Klean Prep PEG solution. Now I pretty much feel normal, and am watching my diet. Before I started the drug, it didn't matter what I ate, nothing would go through properly, even the safest of foods.
So obviously, IBS-A's should stay away - not ibs-C men; (it worked wonderfully for me). Are the doctors improperly prescribing this family practioners or GIs? I would try to get advice from a Gastroenterologist. It took me a while to get a hold of one, but I was helped enormously when I did. I know it works for me, as I missed a day once, and the pain came back quickly.
Are there any men who've got such favorable results? please respond.
