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.

Thats great news Jimmy. Do you know what it is called? I occasionally see updates on clinical trials and I see a lot of IBS drugs being developed. Its nice to see one thats going to make it and that helps people with C!!
