I have a sluggish colon or IBS-C and I was wondering if Bentyl (dicylomine) would constipate me even more, or if it would help relax me to go easier?
Bentyl help or hurt IBS-C?

Bentyl is used to treat stomach cramps in patients with IBS. It will not help you to "go easier".
Constipation is a possible side-effect of Bentyl but unfortunately it cannot be predicted.
