I can control most of my symptoms by following Heather's diet. But once in awhile I get an attack of pain that does not seem to be related to what I've been eating--and it's got to be IBS-related pain, because I'm on birth control pills and shouldn't be ovulating, though the pain is sometimes similar. I was on generic Bentyl to take as needed when I was first diagnosed, but it only sometimes helped the pain, and it definitely caused C as a side effect. All I want is a drug, I'm guessing an anti-spasmodic, that is more effective at relieving the pain when it occurs--I don't need it every day, or very often at all. And I'd prefer no side effects! Can anyone tell me what I should ask my doctor to prescribe? She's kind but doesn't know much about IBS.
