I know I could call the doctor or pharmacy for this, but I think I'll get a better answer from you guys.

When should I take Bentyl? The doctor said to take it when I'm having problems with cramping, no matter when it's occurring. The flyer from the pharmacy indicates that I should take it 30 minutes before a meal. Is it then ok to take on an empty stomach? Even if I'm not planning on eating anytime soon?

Other than antibiotics, I've never had a prescription medication in my life, and I'm nervous as heck about taking it. Some of the side effects sound like they'd bother me worse than the cramping!
