Bentyl

Posted , 6 users are following.

I saw my GP today and asked if I could try Bentyl

for the terrible cramps I get . Doctor said they don't prescribe it .

I've been on Mebeverine for years which isn't helping now .

Anyone know of anything else that I could try ? I take windeze ,

again they don't help .

    have you tried Buscopan that works well for me but don't take too many or you will get constipated.  Some people find peppermint oil helps

    Mebeverine was very toxic for me so I stopped it and tried Buscopan instead which worked for me with no side effects..
