Answer 1

Zelnorm has been pulled from the market because of some serious side effects. You can find out more about it at the FDA website at: http://www.fda.gov

I have never taken it and couldn't (still can't if they do bring it back) because I have a history of having adhesions (scar tissue) due to one of my other medical problems.

I would also recommend having your thyroid checked to see if a hormone imbalance there could be causing your IBS. I just had my thyroid checked again for a number of reasons, one of them so I can see if it is impacting my IBS.
