Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support Group

Irritable bowel syndrome is a common intestinal disorder that is characterized by bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Typically no abnormalities appear during standard medical testing, and so irritable bowel syndrome is identified by the symptoms. Although irritable bowel syndrome can cause serious discomfort, the intestines are not harmed.

Reglan

I will be starting Reglan to help control my everyday nausea as well as other symptoms tomorrow. It will be a small dose. Has anyone ever used it or now taking it? What were you side effects, if any, and did it help?

I've only had one instance of Reglan in my life and my husband took it for nausea from chemotherapy. Unfortunately we now know he is allergic to it. That was our experience and nothing to worry about any more than any other med. I hope it works well for you.

i took it as needed for nausea for many years.
It made me tired/sleepy. I always seemed to take a quick 1 hour nap after taking it, but I didn't mind because I was nauseated.

Never did work for me.

But it turned out that my stomach lining was inflamed because I was eating foods I'd developed allergies to. So my stomach churning and threatening to puke constantly - was actually happening. And it can't treat that.

It did help my mother a little during chemo.

I took it for a short period of time when my digestive problems started and it helped me be able to eat without the nausea. They hadn't identified what was causing all my pain and nausea at the time. I didn't want to stay on it long because of the possible permanent side effects it can cause. Through diet changes I was able to get rid of the nausea but not all the other problems.
