I take Zelnorm. It worked in the beginning and now works intermittently. My gastro-doc said keep taking it because it takes 2-3 weeks to build up a blood level if you stop. She also said that it isn't unusual for it to stop working at times.

Stress and having my period bring it on big-time. And I'm in an incredibly stressful job AND peri-menopausal, so it's just grand <not!>.
