Hiya,
I am taking Bentyl (called Merbentyl in the UK, as it turns out) and I haven't had fasntastic results. Thing is, I got put on 10 mgs 3 times a day, before meals. I had a problem with this because I found that some days, I wasn't eating 3 meals a day so I didn't know when to take it, etc. For the first 2 weeks when I was on it, I did find that it helped with my D. It could be because my body has been reacting badly to another med I was on that I haven't had such good results lately. Now that I have gone off that med, maybe I will start to find more help with the Bentyl. If I do, I'll letcha know.
One another thing, I've had problems with alternative meds making me bloated but not at all with the Bentyl. Is there anything else you are doing that could cause the bloating?
