Dicyclomine - Why should I take Bentyl?

I've had IBS since I was a child and taken dicyclomine for more than 30 years. Like you, there are times when I don't know the diarrhea is going to start. The dicyclomine helps regulate me a great deal. It also helps with the cramping and the general pain from gas bloating. It's allowed me to go from feeling like I needed a map to every bathroom in the city, and missing out on events where a bathroom might not be readily available, to being able to go anywhere I want without worry. It sounds dramatic, but it's truly changed my life for the better. I'd recommend that you give it a try. What have you got to lose? Give it a week or two to truly help regulate your system, although it probably won't take quite that long, and see if it doesn't help. It made a huge difference in my life as I hope it will do in yours. Best of luck to you!

Bentyl is used often for diverticulosis to relax the bowel and prevent the symptoms such as high motility ( sounds like the cause of the cramps you are suffering from). This is a common treatment.
