I also use Bentyl and it's helped me a lot. I was originally prescribed the 10 mg dosage, which helped calm my tummy but didn't do a ton when I was in the throes of an attack. So my doc gave me the 20 mg pills, which are a lot more effective, but as others have said have horrible side effects! Whoever said they gave them an "out of body experience" was right on! So now I take the smaller 10 mg dosage if I'm feeling iffy or am afraid something will bother me, but if I start to have an attack and have nowhere to go I take the 20 mg big guns. Then it doesn't matter if I get trippy, lol. That seems to work out well for me.

Bentyl didn't do much for me, I'm IBS-D and I noticed no real affect
