Outside of the fact that the possible side effects of nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and upset stomach are listed on the label, I'm not aware of any known associations between zolpidem (Ambien) and MC, or any other IBD.

We have to keep in mind that something like 90 % or more of medications list diarrhea as a possible side effect. :lol:

I love how 90% of meds have diarrhea and constipation as the most likely side effect (most I have seen have these two at the top of the list)

Gabes,

Actually, that was just a wild guess, and it may be a slight exaggeration, but it's listed on so many labels, that the percentage has to be relatively high. I initially wrote 99%, but decided that might be overdoing it a bit. :lol:
