Severe abdominal pain, perhaps due to diverticulitis, adhesions and the cover all term, ibs. Bentil trial was w/o results, term or period of use is just a few days. Side effects are dizzy and dry mouth. Suppose with longer use this medication could be more helpful-so far the pain remains severe.Nothing more to add.
