Re: Librax question       06/07/05 03:03 PM Edit Reply Quote angela3 Reged: 07/12/04 Posts: 182 Loc: Texas, near Fort Worth) I took Librax for about 2 years, before I knew anything about Heather or this website, and it did help by almost constipating me (I am IBS-D). But when I found heather's diet I decided I wanted to stop taking prescription pills, and like you are doing now, I slowly weaned myself off. I have found that if I follow the IBS diet (with the foods that work for me, because not all do)and take peppermint oil capsules daily, then I have about the same amount of comfort that the Librax gave me. I do have to take the occasional Immodium AD capsule on bad days, but those are now few and far between. I stopped Librax mostly because of the constipating effect and because it also "constipated" my pee (weird way to put it, but I had to really push my urine out). But I would definitely ask the doctor if long term use of librax is okay or not. Have you tried peppermint capsules? Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
