I was on Zelnorm from January until May. The first week was nothing but severe diarrhea. After that I was mainly diarrhea. In May I had a very stressful period and the violent diarrhea returned. My family doctor took me off of the Zelnorm and two weeks later I saw a GI. He put me on Rubinol Forte and Benefiber. That was almost one week ago. After a few days of constipation, I am happy to report that I am almost totally normal. I have had regular bowel movements every day since Saturday. I haven't had that in the past eight years. I've been on so many medications over the years, I think that you just have to find what works for you and stick with it. Even after one or two years of success, a medication would suddendly stop working. Who knows?



What's Rubinol Forte?

I take Zelnorm, but only half the dose cause it was making me SO hungry and gain weight. It sucks cause it was working great aside from that side effect, now taking half the dose it only works a little(have to take other stuff to go too).
