When I first started taking Zelnorm, I was taking it after I ate, and within about an hour I was having no problem with constipation anymore, basically I was on the toilet on and off for about 2 hours. When I actually took time to read the instructions on how to take Zelnorm, and started to take it just prior to eating, I didn't run to the crapper as much. Within about 3 days of taking it continously, I really found an improvement with all aspects of my stomach problems. The so called GERD and excessive burping, really slowed down and I was going No. 2 at least 2 to 3 times a day.
I didn't have any side-effects from Zelnorm. I quit taking it after about a month, but my stomach is bugging me again, so I am starting it again. How soon I forgot what it is like to be in pain, so I thought I didn't need it anymore, wrong. I will start Zelnorm again, and then go talk to my doc and see how long I have to be on this stuff. The good news is it helps.
You said you got flu symptoms from Zelnorm, what symptoms exactly? Like I said before I didn't get any side-effects, except the craps which calmed down in about 3 days. Maybe try to weather the flu symptoms and see if those symptoms go away after awhile, because if Zelnorm does work for you, believe me, it feels like a small miracle.
