Re: Dicyclomine, Bentyl??

try an all natural pills called aloe mp plus, aloellite or digestnol.. i take them and my dad takes them for his ulcerative colitis and they work great for him buy you have to be willing to pay between 137 to 180 and you get 270 pills ber bottle. you can only get them from their websites. i take bentyl when i have bad pains and they kind of help but i'm also taking the aloe pills more. if you got the money from one of the aloe pills

Re: Dicyclomine, Bentyl??

I've been on it for almost a week now, and nothing but positives for it so far, thanks for the info irishdude, but I just can't afford that kind of money right now, and quincy, I take the Reglan 10 mg's 4 times a day as well, I just take the Bentyl a few hours apart so they won't interact with eachother. My doc is great, he basically gives me whatever I need, and ask him for, or a new pill with my stomach to see how it helps.

Re: Dicyclomine, Bentyl??

hey guys what exacly do you guys have-disease wise? my dad has colitis and bowel disorders run in my family. so i'm going to the GI doctor on the 23rd to see what exacly i have. my doc says IBS. i do take benytl but its only 10mg and i usually only take it when i need it or just once a day. i'm going to try taking 2 at once like my doc said if the pain is that bad and maybe try taking it before i eat too. i'm just affraid they will make me costipated and i was once years ago for 5 days and i don't wanna ever go through that again. what drives me nuts is that they don't have a cure for this stuff or don't really know what exacly causes the pain. i hope someday they will because i'm so tired of these pains i'm about to give up. i can't eat as much as i use to cause i get pains more now then ever before and i'm losing alittle weight too.

Re: Dicyclomine, Bentyl??

Hi dude....I have UC (proctosigmoiditis)...diagnosed over 17 years ago. My meds are Asacol (6 daily) and Salofalk enemas (for flares and tapered to maintenance dosage). No flares have been as bad as my initial ones. I'm doing very well keeping inflammation at a minimum....considering that long-term UC increases the risk of cancer. I've also been recently diagnosed with liver disease associated with UC...primary sclerosing cholangitis (as per a liver MRI)...but recent blood tests have given a connection to Primary Biliary Cirrhosis...a bit of a conumdrum, but the med treatment for both is URSO...so I'm on that at a low dosage until a more definitive diagnosis becomes obvious. Having either also increases the risk of bowel/liver cancer....so I believe the 5ASA meds have been doing a darned good job at keeping inflammation down.

One 10mg dicyclomine daily will not cause you to become constipated. If you do have UC, it might just be limited to the lower part, and that could be why you are having such discomfort.

Just out of curiosity....what would your daily food intake consist of? Are you having other symptoms such as rectal pain or urgency upon bms?

You could also have IBS with UC....but "assuming" isn't the way to go especially when bowel disorders/disease runs in your family.It's good you'll be seeing a GI soon.

Please let us know the outcome.

Re: Dicyclomine, Bentyl??

wow seems like you have alot of problems. i so hope i have just simple and i don't have to take alot of meds cause i hate taking pills. if they are natural pills i don't mind taking them at all. yeah i do take 10mg but my doc yesterday said i can double up to make 20mg or he said i can take them before i eat which i didn't know. at first i thought you could only take it once a day. i do get lower pain sometimes can it can hurt pretty bad. i aso get a good amount of gas and heartburn but my heartburn has been pretty good lately. well i use to eat alot of junk since i'm still kind of young. i'm 25 by the way. but my dad has UC and he tells me not to eat nuts,corn,caffeen,chocolite and not alot of sugar. so now i'm trying to eat good healthy stuff. i don't have rectal pain just stomach pain. sometimes the pain makes me have diarea and man when i have that i gotta go or i'll have a problem if you know what i mean. what kind of food t do you eat and do you know what foods help with the problem?...david
