Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: How long does it last?

My doctor had put me on Dicetel (the higher dosage) and it didn't help me. It made my intestines feel as is they were being twisted!

Later I was put on a lower dosage of Dicetel. The doctor said that often the lower dosage works better. Crazy huh?
The same time the doctor gave me Apo-Chlorax to take 4 times a day with the Dicetel. You take them 20 mins before you eat and one before bedtime. Nothing has ever worked so well for me in my life!!!

I have IBS-d.

One of the side effects to watch out for with the Apo-Chlorax is that it can make you not be able to urinate well. That doesn't happen to everyone but it did happen to me.

It seems to work well for others and is great!!

My attacks can last a long time also. I make sure I start to take my meds and go back to a very simple diet. If it's IBS-d I take one immodium a day for a couple of days till things calm down or I just eat the basics like the B.R.A.T. diet. (bananas, rice, apple sauce, and toast).

Good luck
