I had it for years...

helped a bit to take before a meal to head off pain and spasms. Can't say it did more than that, and it made my eyes and mouth so very dry.

Switched to peppermint oil caps and got much stronger results without the dry side effects.

Anti-spasmodics have been around forever, which is great because they have a very long safety record. And they're use as needed, also good, as you don't take the drug on days you don't need it.

Can't hurt to try them, worst case they just won't do enough for you or you'll hate the side effects, but you'll know right away.

Best,
H
