hey everyone, 

 

Its Jimmy.... I had to chg my user name / password. 

 

I went to see my gastroendrocrinologist and he told me that their is a new medication that may be coming out for people w/ IBS with constipation.  Generally people who have not done well on Zelnorm.

 

They are awaiting for FDA approval.  He said its promising.
