Question : Hi I have gerd and ibs and I am having a flare of ibs with bad back spasms .My omeprazole and peppermint oil and probiotics aren't working on the spasms . Is there anything else I can take to calm this down because it is very painful. I have had 2 colonoscopies and a endo scopes and also abdominal ultrasound and I know that the spasms are part of a bad bout of IBS. It's even hard to stand up.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking on HCM!
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows :
You are reporting to have abdominal spasms . It is tru that your spasms may be due to IBS bout.
In such cases I suggest to use dyclocimin 1-2 tablets per day.
It is an antispasmodic drug and it will help to improve your symptoms of IBS.
Meantime I would suggest to avoid unnecessary stress and spicy foods.
Hope it was helpful to you.
