Can I Give Bentyl For Diarrhea With Stomach Pain?

My 7 year old has been having generalized intermittent abdominal pain for 6 days. We went to the ER last night. Appendicitis was ruled out. CT showed mesenteric adenopathy. Labs were normal other than elevated CRP. She is still in mod-severe pain (7-8). She is tolerating clear liquids. She just started having diarrhea. Would it be okay to give bentyl to her for the cramping along with the diarrhea?
