J.L.
I have suffered w/IBS since my early teens. I finally found something that has no adverse effects and is totally natural. I had been on many different meds over the years--made dietary changes, etc. I began taking Natrol Probitic Pearls about 2 yrs ago because I had been on so many antibiotics the IBS was out of control. It has been amazing. I do notice if I have an increased intake of simple carbs (w/PMS munchies), the IBS flares up. I have never had better success w/anything else. I was wondering if the drug you named is the generic for Bentyl? If so--I hated the side effects. Another thing--I do not intake anything but organic dairy--Sounds crazy--but I couldn't even have a bowl of cereal w/out bloating and pain. I began using Organic dairy products in 2005 and that has also helped. I truly believe the hormones AND antibiotics used are detrimental. I would suggest purchasing the Probiotic Pearls from Drugstore.com or Vitacost.com. These 2 sites have had the best prices I could find. One tiny pearl 1X daily--it dissolves in the small intestine so it will not bother your stomach. I hope this helps you.
