omg- to anyone who has IBS that has diarhhea as the stool problem (as opposed to constipation or alternating) DO NOT TAKE THIS!!! along with abdominal pain and bloating, diarhhea was my big symptom...the zelnorm gave me mild cramping and VERY WATERY diarhhea...not severe, but definately unpleasant. b/c i often have soft, pellet-like, and loose stools, my doc tried levbid...its great!!! hope this helps somebody!
