pickledfairy Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 My GI doc was just telling me today that considering my cardiac hx he is VERY glad he did not put me on Zelnorm for my gastroparesis...although nothing else has worked as of yet! Although I know many GP suffers for whom Zelnorm is the only drug that works...I hope something can work out for them.Sheridan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
