Re: Do you take Bentyl everday...       10/10/05 07:06 PM Edit Reply Quote AmandaM Reged: 10/05/05 Posts: 488 Hey Star! I am IBS-D and I have been taking Bentyl for about the last three months. I agree that sometimes it just doesn't work that well. But, for the most part if I eat good and take it as instructed, I don't get any pain or spasms. I think it did help me to get somewhat regular as well. I ruined its efficacy when I tried the Maker's Diet and Primal Defense these past couple of weeks. No matter how much Bentyl or Immodium I took, nothing helped. Augie- I take it daily. 10 mg doses 30 minutes before each meal and right before bedtime (4x a day). Lately, I've been swallowing down 20mg doses instead (Dr. approved this by the way) since the 10mg just wasn't cutting it. I find it's much more effective to keep it constantly in my system than just sporadically. Plus, if I don't take it regularly I will get really drowsy and dopey when I take it. Not good when you're trying to stay awake in an already boring class or argue in court! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
