Since you are interested in research studies I was wondering if you could find any studies on the general efficiency of the Solvay Pharmaceuticals drugs Dicetel and Duspatal. Someone posted about Dicetel working really well on the living room board. I read up on the med and it does sound good. It is described as a new more specific type of antispasmodic drug with less side effects. The only thing I am a bit skeptical about is that 1) antispasmodics in general don't seem to be extremely efficient and 2) it is described as a calcium-antagonist which makes me a bit confused. I mean, calcium is good for D:ers but not for C:ers and if this is something that has effect on the calcium channels in the smooth muscles it seems a bit complicated.
It's good if these drugs work for all the IBS symptoms even upper GI symptoms. But it seems a bit too good to be true... These meds are not approved in Sweden either at the moment so... But I thought it would be nice to find out more anyway. For now I am happy with my loperamide as luckily that works well for me.
