I can verify. I'm a male (age 38) and Zelnorm is really not working that great for me. I admit, though, that I don't take the full dosage... reason being is that I get really bad D for about 2 to 4 hours after I take it. It's hard to be on a public desk when you have to go running off to the bathroom every few minutes because of this nasty side effect. Funny thing, though, is that, after taking only one pill and giving it about 24 to 36 hours to wear off, I felt GREAT for about 2 weeks! (This was a couple months back.) All I took was fiber, and I felt better than I'd felt in a long time. Then, next flare-up, I took another tablet, but long-term results weren't as good that time. I took another single dose earlier this week, and had no improvement at all. In my case, stress is the problem, accompanied by a crazy schedule, which makes for a less-than-ideal diet. Also, I'm changing careers and preparing to relocate, so my body is pretty well freaked out.Linda, I'm glad Zelnorm is working for you! As for me, I think I'm going to go back to Hyoscyamine and Digestive Advantage... I think I had better results with that combo than the Zelnorm. Kotel... good luck to you, and keep us posted.
