last thursday I had taken a zelnorm because i had not had a bowel movement in about a week. since I have not stopped using the bathroom, all day and throughout the night, if i eat or drink anything I have to run to the bathroom within minutes and I have pains and bloatiness in my stomache. this has never happened before when I take the medication. I am afraid to leave the house and I have lost 5 lbs. any suggestions?
I have recently have been diagnosed with Diabetic enteropathy of the colon and my Gastroenterologist has prescribed Zelnorm for this condition.Has this medication been effective in treating Diabetic enteropathy snd what are the gratest side effects? Thank you.
ve had IBS with constipation for over 15 years. Before Zelnorm was removed from the market, THATS when the straining REALLY started. My parents & grandparents say I was practically born constipated. So back to my question, is there a chance the strokes came from my bathroom troubles. Any ideas?
if it persists for more than a week and over the counter ant-acid medication like mylanta doesnt help you, then see your gp and ask for these breath tests; fructose malabsorption, lactose, glucose, lactulose and gluten intolerances, cheers.
Stress/anxiety/depression can trigger a whole SLEW of physical symptoms (nausea, headaches, flu-like symptoms, rapid heart beat, hot/cold flashes, tingling/numbness, brain "fog"..... the list goes on and on and on).
If you developed physical symptoms since the anthrax scare you may have developed a health-induced phobia. Do you have a fear of dying? Of getting some nasty disease? Anxiety can cause physical symptoms which can compound this issue.
It was latered blamed on the recalled medication, Zelnorm which I had been on for few years. I also suffer from fybromyalgia. Lately I've been experiencing intense pain from my neck and shoulders, including feet, ankles, legs, knees, and joints. Including between shoulder blades. All exacerbated by over extending myself. I'm also under a huge amount of stress due to a very ill 89 year old Mama 600 miles away, making travel a MUST!
I feel chained to the bathroom and of course never clean. Zelnorm was the beat solution and worked really well but then was taken off the market. What can I do to resolve this ever increasing problem?
Even though my gallbladder tests came back normal, my doctor decided that it probably was a problem with my gallbladder and removed it approximately 3 weeks ago. For about 4-5 days after my surgery, I had no symptoms. However, it has all come back to the same intensity that it was prior to surgery.
Because of the uncontrollable diarrhea, I am afraid to leave my house more and more. Does anyone out there have an idea of what could be happening to me?
Thank you.
This looks like "official" matter. What meds are in question?
Colonoscopy showed something?
IBS is not a disease at all, and there's no drugs for IBS, as I know (my opinion). Zelnorm was even withdrawn from the (U.S.) market last year, now it might be back again.
He put me on Zelnorm and I was free of everything I went to the bathroom easy!! I ate anything I wanted!! They took it off the market ( dahhh I told him that too) And then He left me hanging, started talking about a hernia in my throat. NOT my constipation! Iam doomed here. I was in shape and toned and now Im a blob. Go to a Natural Doctor and get help there. don't take
laxatives! All the things I was taking are from a doctors say so!
I also threw up a couple times. Some new symptoms have occured and it things are getting a little worse. These symptoms affect my life greatly. I feel tired and fatigued no matter how much sleep I get. My digestive system is out of wack no matter what I eat. Doctors dont always know the answers nor do they help. I'm 25 years old. I don't know if I have a disease, infection or what. Any opinion I would appreciate.
Now five years later my left side of my body stomach down is mildly numb and
tingles with very bad spots of shooting pain and always some
mild pain in the heal, inner foot, outer leg, hamstring in the butt and severe unexplained constipation (on Zelnorm ((until discontuned)), now Amitiza), and mild arm pain, chest pains etc. I also get very bad itching or tingling of the scrotum, left side only and anal itching or tingling, left side only.

In the past I have tried
Erithromicine, Reglan ( both intravenous and orally), zelnorm - I did not gain relief from any of them. The only time intravenous reglan would work was when I was unable to tolerate liquids. A dose of intravenous reglan would get me on track.
Urso- I have tried all different doses of this as well, and gained no results.
I am 17 weeks pregnant and have been having signs of a galbladder attack... The only problem is I had my galbladder removed 2 years ago with my first son. I went to the hospital and my dr and had blood work done for labs testing for blockage. They found nothing and said that it was acid reflux. They put me on 3 differny types of meds; ondansetron for nausea, ranitidine for stomach problems and metoclopramide to take 4 times a day 30 mins before I eat.
I have been through the same thing that lasted almost a week. I finally had to get some prescription strength laxative liquid plus Zelnorm. It was awful and we were at the beach! Just to lay it all out there for you, once the meds kicked in.....I was in so much pain, I was vomiting. I had to don a rubber glove and remove it manually at first! Once I got it started, i was fine after that. I spent the rest of the day on the beach and was fine.
I am 19 Yr old female, and at age eleven my doctor told me that i had IBS, however he didnt un any tests or anything. he prescribed me zelnorm, witch i took for about a year but stopped taking it after no results were produced if anything it had increased my pain level.
Common symptoms include abdominal cramping or pain, bloating and gassiness, and altered bowel habits(alternate constipation and loose stools).
Majority of IBS patients have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Another 20% have depression, and the rest have other disorders.
Irritable bowel syndrome can be a very difficult diagnosis to make. IBS is called a diagnosis of exclusion, which means that a doctor considers many other alternatives first, perhaps performing tests to rule out other problems.
My doctor have tried all kind of medications for this but non suites me I have serious side effects to Reglan,the only modern medication treats Gastroperesis. Somebody advice me to try Ayurvedic(Herbal) or Homeopathic medication, which doesn't have side effects and much reliable than modern medicines. I read that you lose weight with this but I am gaining weight. i don't have diabetes and don't feel neasau or abdomin pain 9Sie effects from this deseas)..
