Some of the side effects can be dizziness, dry mouth and constipation at least in my case. This time taking it the side effects are much less than previously when the dizziness and C made me stop taking it. Now the dizziness is occassional and light.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

I was prescribed this for IBS pain. I rarely take it though, only if I'm having a lot of pain. It helps me, but it does constipate me (why I don't take it often). I haven't had any dizziness.
