OK....My IBS has gotten in such an uproar lately that diet is not enough. I am watching what I eat but I am always cramping and in pain regardless of what I eat. I had a stomach virus about 2 weeks ago which set me off and I can't get it to calm down. I wake in the morning even before I get out of bed and have low belly cramps. As soon as I take a bite of anything the cramping starts again. My BM's haven't been normal either. Let's not even go there.
When I went to the gastro guy about 2 months ago he gave me Paine Forte which turned out to be an IC nightmare for me! I wound up with the worst urinary retention. I never experienced such a thing! I could not urinate for an entire day and the pain was unbearable! I also woke up totally dry! My eyese were glued shut and my throat was so dry that it hurt to eat. That also took an entire day of drinking water to get better. So, I guess it's safe to say that I won't be trying that drug again but because of this experience I am afraid to try anything else. I remember tyring Levsin a few years ago but if gave me migraines. As a kid I took Donnatol but don't know how I would do with it today as my IC has gotten worse. Any ideas on what to tyr to stop the spasms. I think I tried Librax too but not sure how I did with it. I know I need something but not sure what to ask for. I put a call into my urologist but haven't gotten a call back yet. I wanted to ask her what she would recommend given my IC history and my Pamine Forte experience.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks...........I really need some input on this.I.m going crazy with this damn bloating after eating, then cramping and pain. It's just not calming down!!!!
