    I'm glad to finally see a medicine coming to help those with IBS, Gastroparesis, Constipation and gastro pain.  Too many people have suffered too long.  I hope the FDA releases this drug quickly if found to be safe.  

    Of course many drugs are released such as humara (can cause lymphoma, infections, etc) and many other drugs have severe side effects.  The one side effect of a drug my daughter was prescribed was 'death' but with so few gastro medications available for these symptoms, many still took it.  Domperidone has been an investigational drug for years.  It's widely used all over the world, but the US has still to approve it for use except if the doctor is approved for prescribing it. Most doctors don't want to take the time to fill out the FDA paperwork.  And since it's not approved fully by the FDA, insurances don't cover it.  It's quite expensive for alot of Americans.
