So no one has tried this here?

Sorry I haven't been online for a few days. I took if a few years ago for IBS, couldn't take it very long because it clashed with some of my other meds and caused really bad dizziness and blurry vision. It helped some with the IBS, but not enough to deal with the other side effects.

Do you have IBS or what type of stomach pain? Its usually used pretty specific for IBS, not other general stomach issues. It works as an anti-spasmodic so it works well with the stomach muscle spasms that IBS cause.

I hope it gives you relief.

Well I mentioned this abdominal pain that I was having to my doctor and he prescribed that. He said to take it whenever the pain comes.

I have used it years ago. It worked well for me. It is for IBS as you guys have stated. You mentioned abdominal pain but you didn't describe it. IBS can be related to many things and can be very painful. If you can find your triggers, such as certain foods, stress and so on your abdominal discomfort can and will get better. Adding small amounts of fiber at a time and making sure you drink plenty of water can help too and exercise. The medication you mention is also called bentyl. It can cause you to have a dry mouth just fyi. I hope it works for you.

It's hard to know what your taking it for when you say "abdominal pain", random abdominal pain can be caused by a hundred different things. IBS is pretty specific, it generally times pretty close to when you eat, and the pain is not just abdominal pain, it's make you want to die, pass out abdominal pain.

I've not heard of anyone taking it for anything other than IBS, but it doesn't sound like your Dr. has diagnosed you with IBS????? so I'm not sure what to say. I guess you just have to try it and see if it helps your abdominal pain.

Well the reason behind that is because I get different types of abdominal pain. The pain I asked him about in particular is a sharp pain I was getting in the lower abdomen that was very intermittent but it got to the point where I had went to the hospital for it and they did not find anything wrong so they sent me home after a few hours. The other abdominal pain I get is one that seems to come after I eat food sometimes, that one causes me to be pretty gassy also. That one seems to be from particular food though so I just try not to eat it really.

It seems to me that you may have food allergies. Also, I don't know how old you are, but there is a number of conditions which produce abdominal pain after eating.
I would want to know if they did CT of your abdomen and endoscopy/colonoscopy.
The Ned your doc gave you can be used for diagnosis purposes - if it relieves the pain, then it is likely a food intolerance issue. If it doesn't, you need a work up.
Food allergy testing for sure.
There are also conditions that cause and pain after eating that have to do with arterial circulation.
In elderly patients we always worry about occlusion of arteries to the digestive tract, like messenger if artery for example. When you eat, blood rushes to the intestine and if the arteries are narrowed, like in someone with artherosclerosis or if there is a blood clot from old trauma, it causes pain.
The other day I had a patient with portal vein thrombosis of unknown origin and he had a lot of pain. The only way to see it is on CT with oral and IV contrast.

Man, my autocorrect screws up everything'. Ned was meant to be Med and messenger was suppose to be " mesenteric".
Sorry

@enigmatic.... are you using the Diciclomine and is it helping your stomach pain??

@Aronia I do feel like I have some sort of food allergy perhaps, right now I'm having another stomach issue that has happened to me before and I really don't know how to get rid of it. It's not really abdominal pain right now so I don't believe the dicylomine would be of much help for this.

@OlderCPer I haven't tried it yet.

Gas can cause severe abdominal pain but what helps the best with that is walking. The post surgical patients I used to take care of would have terrible abdominal pain but that's when would get them up and walk them. IBS can be very painful but usually you look for your triggers and go from there, sometimes it's stress, food, not enough fiber or water intake. Have you tried an antidepressant bc the studies they have done say the same chemicals we have in are brain are also in are gut. I have IBS and have for 20+ yrs but thankfully I am able to keep mine under pretty good control with just a flare here and there. As the previous comments mentioned your doctor should look at testing to see why you have pain. A GI consult possibly.
