Donna-Sue,

I can't answer your Zelnorm question, however if your IBS is severe,as mine was for 50 years ... do consider having testing done for food allergies, or doing dietary elimination & challenges, to determine whether there might be a dietary cause for your IBS-C.

I regret having suffered through several hospitalizations, as well as all of those decades of pain & spasms, when simply removing gluten from my diet ended all symptoms. For other people there are different dietary triggers, and perhaps there are some with IBS as well who don't have offending foods ... but there are enough anecdotes about IBS success with dietary change, that anyone at their wit's end can access & consider.

Best wishes.
