I can't remember if I posted this or not before. I kow I was thinking about
it.

Do those that use bentyl on this group use it for the runs or do you also
use it for constipation. My dr prescribed it for me since I was having
cramps. But I do have constipation. So was just wondering if it would also
help in this.

I use bentyl for IBS. Have off and on since college days long long ago. I
recently added it for daily use when I started taking Arava. When the IBS
flares up I take it 3 x a day. When just to prevent side effects of Arava,,
I just take it at bedtime. I can't answer your question about constipation.
A serving of vegies takes care of that for me.

I am the opposite with the veggies. Can't eat them as much as I would like
to because they just kill my stomach. I would kill for a salad. I miss that
the most.

Good thoughts coming your way too.

The only veggie I can't eat is raw spinach. I love a good spinach salad,
but half an hour after I eat it I'm doubled over with stomach cramps.
Curiously, cooked spinach gives me no problems.

With bentyl, I can eat salads again. I'm allergic to iceberg lettuce however
so I stick to Romaine. If I eat iceberg or tomatos, I add benadryl which
stops the cramps and runs.

Before the Arava I didn't dare eat a salad because I
would have a real problem. But again it wasn't
constipation.

I use it for the runs but it is suppose to level out
the whole bowl system.
