I don't know about ya all but the ad for Zelnorm on T.V. is really getting on my nerves- they line up a bunch of women who show their bellies and belly buttons with the words "bloating" etc. across their bellies- it is just an annoying ad in my opinion- what do you think?

 

[Tiss]

I hate that commercial! Where ya been cig? Haven't seen you post in awhile. Tiss

 

[sadone]

oooo i hate that one too! it's like it's making fun of us for feeling this way...

If you think that the TV ad is bad, wait until you see the movie, THE LADYKILLERS. A good part of the movie is devoted to making fun of IBS.

 

[lisasummers]

is this movie made for TV or at theatres? The commercial makes me laugh, I wish when I was bloated I looked like that and was smiling hah.

 

[chas14]

The movie is at theaters. It was just recently released.

 

[lisasummers]

well I would like to rent it when it comes out, I will look it up, thanks so much

 

[michele brake]

YEAH! If they are going to show a bloated belly, then show a BLOATED belly!!! Everyone one of those tummies looked nice and flat to me! Mine certainly doesn't look like that!

 

[lisasummers]

pregnant looking, fat piggy kinda looking, that is what they should show. Even my sister called me when the commercial came out and said hey! I've seen ur's and u don't look like that hahah.

Ha ha, you guys that is hilarious. How many times have I seen that and thought the same thing. They all look way too happy and skinny. I look six month pregnant at times too. Maybe they could get six or seven of us and line us up. That would be something to see hey. Cheers.

 

[lisasummers]

maybe it is part of them making fun of us? think about it, they show us not bloated but with messages complaining haha. jerks

 

[sadone]

i totally agree! they all do look waaaaaay to happy to be 'bloated' and 'constipated'...and their stomachs are all flat...maybe i should complain to them...it offends me that they even have 'special' models for constipation commercials...geez.

I'm just glad they're acknowledging the fact that there are so many of us out there.Not too often we hear anything about bowel disorders on TV.

 

[sadone]

true true, but if they are going to acknowledge it, might as well do so accurately, right?

 

[lisasummers]

I agree on the part of nice that they have a commercial noticing us, it is great. The only thing is we get enough ....Oh it can't be that bad, I sometimes get constipated and I deal with it....that the commercial does not make it look that bad. Don't know if I would want to see them all bend over and crying but at least somewhat uncomfortable. My mother is a nurse and she even does not understand, only when I show her my stomach at full expansion does she say " Lisa, that is awful" and then that's it
