Resolved Question: Does anyone know why Colpermin is not available in the US but it is available in the UK?
(Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:25:21 GMT)
As an IBS sufferer I read on a couple of websites about this great new product called Colpermin, made w/peppermint oil. They said it was OTC but you would probably have to ask your pharmacist for it. When my husband went to pick up my Rx's for me he asked for it and they never heard of it. They looked it up in their computer: nothing. So I came back to mine to do a little more research and realized that the IBS help site I was on was in the UK, which doesn't surprise me. Their health care may

Zelnorm was the best drug for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It used to provide me tremendous relief. But then it suddenly got banned in US without any specific reason. Now i don't get relief from IBS using bentyl and antidepressants. Thats crazy to ban an effective medication, which helps control symptoms.

Resolved Question: IBS & Weight Gain?
(Sun, 06 Apr 2008 01:30:53 GMT)
2 years ago, I was diagnosed with IBS. Earlier that year, I lost 30 pounds on Weight Watchers. I got thin, then the IBS hit. I couldn't eat the high fiber diet Weight Watchers requires because of flare ups, but I still kept active. I'm not a junk food eater. And even though it's painful to eat veggies, I did. I joined the gym, then I gained over 20 pounds. I still goto the gym several times a week, watch what I eat and 2 years later...no weight loss. I tried a year ago to go back on Weight Wat

Resolved Question: Zelnorm withdrawal. Other suggestions?
(Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:20:34 GMT)
I have IBS-C (that's IBS with constipation). Zelnorm was like a miracle drug that dropped out of the sky, after 23 years of suffering. Because of Zelnorm, I could drink soda, taste cheese, not worry about eating too late, and not get horrible pain and gas and cramping. Then, they took it off the market. It was like my own personal Great Depression. Going off Zelnorm, well, sucked. Now, all I have is Miralax, and a bag full of tricks (dried apricots, hot tea first thing in the morning, exerci

Resolved Question: Is Irritabel Bowel Syndrome at all?

Hello everybody, I am almost torn apart by what has been bothering me for almost 10 years. I'm 30, and although I was diagnosed with Irritabel Bowel Disease, it seems this disease rules everything I do during the day since I feel bloated, tired, I have frequent bowel movements everytime I eat or even if I don't, I also have headaches. I have tried different diets, medicines such as zelnorm and dicetel, metamucil, stopped coke, etc, etc, etc but none of these has worked. I feel very depressed

Resolved Question: Is there a generic medicine similar to Lexapro?
(Thu, 29 Nov 2007 16:06:41 GMT)
Zelnorm worked very well for me and I am almost out. My doc tried Miralax and it doesn't work right with me. He says because Zelnorm is off the market we will try some others seratonin blockers. Between Oct 06-May 07 I was on Lexapro and I didn't need to take the zelnorm at that time. I know that lexapro is brand name and want to know if there is a similar medicine that is a generic? I was always very hesitant about taking these types of medicines because several years ago a physician of

I've tried conventional medicine (Zelnorm, which is now off the market), I've also changed my diet to be 90% vegetarian, drink tons of water, exercise 4-5 times a week either treadmill walking or turbo jam, but none of this has helped. I just don't know what else to do to get rid of this problem. I'm not overweight.

Not long after I eat I'm not feeling well. I was doing some research on line about the colon cleanse but I wanted some advice from someone who has ac

I have been told by the doc I have IBS, Took Zelnorm then it was recalled, so since then I just deal with the cramps, but after bowel movements I'm okay. But the last few days, my stomach has been screwed up. I had diahrea once yesterday, but it was bad. Today I have had two loose bowel movements, which is strange because usually I have one bowel movement a week, maybe 2. And this time the cramping feeling doesn't go away.

Resolved Question: Is there a correlation between wearing pantyhose and lower abdominal pain?
(Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:51:22 GMT)
I was diagnosed with IBS a few years back and was taking Zelnorm. To be honest, Zelnorm didn't do much for me. I still had constipation and bloating (I am in constant pain and the doctors say nothing, I just came to the realization that I will have to live with the pain the rest of my life). I was told that wearing panty hose helps with some abdominal pain and pressure. I have been trying it on and off for the past few months and it makes all my symptoms WORSE.
