This works really well for my IBS-D. Started off taking it 4 times a day, now I am down to 2 or 3 a day. Gave me my life back. The only side effect I am having is some blurred vision about 30 minutes after I take it with it lasting for 30 minutes or so. I can live with that since it helps me so much. It does tend to stick in my throat unless I take it with some Sprite.

I have been from doctor to doctor about my IBS/Chronic Diahrea. I started taking the 4 pills daily to help with the cramping and diahrea. I then was able to cut down to only 2 a day. I take one in the a.m. when I get up and 1 before bed. I have had no side effects and it is working beautifully with me. I haven't had any symptoms since being on this medication. AAA+++

I'm taking it for IBS-D. It has helped the stomach cramping, but not the urgency. I find it hard to take, it feels like it's stuck in your windpipe and burns going down. Have anyone else had this problem?
