I can tell you that I've tried other things like Linzess and Amitiza, but Bentyl is a winner. It continues working and I am very very grateful, as it alleviates pain constipation, but most of all, the excess gas building up in my colon. I actually have more regular and solid bowel movements, the air blocked any waste from moving in my colon and never came out in one solid movement. The side effec...

I have been having upper abdominal problems for over 2 months now. I have even been to a GI DR. They ran many tests and they have all came out normal. I was also treated with narcotic pain meds and all thedid was make me feel worse. Finally I went into the ER and the found it was Gastritis. They gave me this medicine and a GI coctail. I have to say that since I have been on this medicine I have been feeling much better. 2 thumbsup to the person who invented this drug!

I have IBS, and Bentyl has really helped with my stomach cramping and has helped with my ability to...err....go. The dry-mouth is bothersome, and it messes up my sense of taste, but other than that, its great.

i love that it relaxes my cramping and pain however it causes blurry vision and dizziness. I have only been on this med for 2 days so its possible that the side effects will fade.

I'm just curious if Bentyl works for severe menstrual cramps. I have dysmenorrhea and I heard that this may be a cure for my condition.

I have been told that I have IBS and was prescribed this medicine. When I was first given this medicine I took it regularly, but had to stop because it was making me super drowsy. I do have to say that it does help when I take it when needed now. I wish that there was something that had less of the drowsiness effect on me.

I was just recently diagnosed with IBS and I am a busy 25 year old. This medication has worked wonders for me. I have only been on it a month or so but so far it is wonderful. It really helps the pain I have when I have a flare up!

At 45 newly diagnosed with IBS, this medication has helped greatly. For me, it really helps control the cramps, although the I do feel bloated more often. It's the taking it 4 times a day that is tough for me to remember, but when the cramping begins I am quickly reminded.

I use this medication for bad cramping and I don't have to take this routinly. I find this medication to be wonderful and it is what gets me through when I have an episode. The pain is so bad I sometimes pass out thankfully this medication makes it better. I get a little dizzy and slower to react but other than that its great.

I was starting to miss work because of my severe IBS. This is the first thing that has worked consistently for me. I haven't had a stomach ache, cramping, diarrhea, constipation... absolutely no stomach issues in 2 weeks. It is amazing! I have some trouble remembering to take the meds, four times a day is alot. I am also bloated more than normal and sleepier than usual. No other side effects to report, no g.i. symptoms either.

For the first three days that I took it it seemed to be a Godsend however, the next day (day four) I had a horrible bout of IBS and it has continued with no change ever since.

This is a great medicine. Within 30 minutes, my stomach felt great and had no pain or cramping. Made me a little dizzy at first, but after a few days it stopped. I only take it 2x a day and it works great.
