Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter has been diagnosed with IBS. She has already taken dicyclomine 20 mg for the 3rd time today at 6:30 tonight. She is still doubled over in pain. Which would be more effective to take at this point - another dicyclomine or hyoscyamine 0.125 mg?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
As remedies you should: Look at your diet. If it contains a large amount of carbohydrates that are difficult to digest, try to replace them. Carbohydrates that are easier to digest, such as potatoes, rice, and bananas, are good substitutes. Also try to eat around five to six small meals a day instead of three larger ones to help your digestive process.
Chew properly to avoid doing anything that may increase the amount of air that you swallow. This includes making sure that you are chewing your food properly, and avoiding chewing gum or smoking. Also, drink some peppermint tea, chamomile tea and ginger. In severe cases colonoscopy should be done and some medications recommended.
Wishing you good health.
