Zelnorm for Chronic Constipation...

[RustyD]

Any one ever try it or hear of it? That is what the drug test is going to be on that I mentioned..

I was just prescribed this by my gastro a few weeks ago...I have not used it yet since I have had too many appts each day to be able to be home. I do not know how I will react to it so I want to make certain I can stay home for the entire day and not have to travel outside the house when I take it.

I have been on it for several months. While it certainly DOES eliminate the horrible IBS cramping, it does nothing to facilitate movement for me and I take it twice a day. I will settle for eliminating the cramping and continue on in my quest for regular movement. Best wishes.

Thanks for your replies... I am tempted to ask my PM to let me try it. My problems are due to the opoids and now to have a movement, it becomes a two day effort between dozens of pills, then a suppository and then an enema if all else fails.. I am sick of it...

I tried it but it didnt work for me. Dr. pUT ME ON Reglan it is wonderful . Try the Reglan first.

I just started to use this drug this week...The first few days I thought it was worthless. I have not stopped using my Miralax and do not know if I am supposed to use it with this drug, but this drug by itself does nothing....Today for the first time I saw the benefit...I think this drug creates or causes peristalsis... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristalsis I am still using the Miralax two/three times a day though....so I do not know if that is a good thing...

[RustyD]

Thanks for the info.. I had tried Miralis but it did absolutely nothing for me.. I just got a message that they have decided to include me in a study of Novartis. I will call them tomorrow...

I too am on Miralax but I gag getting it down with anything juice etc . Only do it once aday with the Reglan

[GJZH]

I put the Miralax in my coffee...I do not really like coffee, but drink one or two cups a day just to take the Miralax....In the coffee it just disappears...

Hi guys, if youve truely reached the stage of desperate, meaning that you can not excavate at all, I have been put on Lactulose, This works. It is powerful medicine. Zelnorm was initially fantastic for me, for my irritalbe bowel syndrome. But now my rsd has affected my nerves there and am having much more severe problems. Hope this information helps those desperate such as I was. mbrfz
