I was just recently persribed Bentyl for stomach cramps because I get them alot, very severe, so they wanted to start me on bentyl for the stomach cramps, I haven;t used it yet, I wanted to see if it worked for anyone else who takes it for stomach cramps, and if it works good.

it does work but if you can ask for LEVSIN S/L take that..small pill yu put under your tongue and let dissolve. worked best for me and i would get very painful colon spasms.,.....now i'm preg and can't take ANYTHING! don't you wish there was a cure for this rather than just a take it when you need it????

Hi....I've used it for ulcerative colitis cramps and discomfort for over 17 years.

I started at 10mg, and for the past 2+ years have been using 20mg dosage.

What's the dosage the doc prescribed?

It can make you feel a bit "mellow", and I do find that my eyes get a bit lazier.

I think it's an awesome med and works well for me.

my doc gave me awhile ago and he thinks i have ibs but i'm getting tested to see what exacly i have. i don't really like benytl it works but not that great.not sure how many mg he gave me. my dad has what you have and he and me both take this all natural stuff that works better then anything i have tried so far. i would rather take natural stuff then prescriptions because you don't know if you will have damge or side effects later on in life.
