Hi, Gisela,
David just asked me the same question, and here's my response:

"Donnatal is a medication that my doctors have prescribed for me. I'm a "D" and when I have severe cramps and "D", this is the only drug that works for me. However, it's my emergency drug; I take it ONLY when the Lomotil (for diarrhea) or Hyoscyamine (for the cramps) don't work. My GI did not want to give me Donnatal (for both diarrhea and cramps), claiming it was addictive, but my regular doctors, both in California and up here in Washington, apparently disagreed. Also, my one little bottle lasted me over 2-1/2 years, so it was obviously not addictive to me. Again, I only take it on emergencies.
"I would think you could get any these drugs in the U.K. by prescription? You might ask your doctor about them if you're truly interested.
"Equalactin is a soluble fiber supplement. I really like this stuff more than any other because, for some reason, it makes me feel better, almost instantly. I don't know if it's available in the U.K., but have you ordered anything from Heather, such as her tummy tea or acacia? She sends you a little sample of the Equalactin with your order. It's a great way to see if you like it and if it works for you."

Gisela, are you a "C" or "D"? Talk to your GI or your regular doctor and tell him/her that the Levsin isn't working for you, and ask about Lomotil, Hyoscyamine, and/or Donnatal. The Lomotil and Donnatal are pills that you swallow, while you dissolve the Hyoscyamine under your tongue.
I hope this helps. I don't know where you're from, but if you're in the States, you shouldn't have any problems finding Equalactin. Check in the web site here under "soluble fiber supplements" because Heather mentions it, along with her acacia and other goodies. For me, the Equalactin just makes me feel SOOOO much better than Fibercon or Citrucel does.
Good luck!
Bev
