I don't know if I am the exception, but it does not seem to help when I am having flare ups. I want something that works, especially at work, so I don't have to lose time.

I was having terribly uncomfortable and sometimes painful bloating after eating nearly anything. It was getting so bad that I was often having trouble buttoning my pants. In addition, I would switch between days of constipation, to random diarrhea and then back to constipation.

I was having terribly uncomfortable and sometimes painful bloating after eating nearly anything. It was getting so bad that I was often having trouble buttoning my pants. In addition, I would switch between days of constipation, to random diarrhea and then back to constipation. I tried Levbid and within a couple days noticed much less bloating and my bm's started to become more regular. I find it much easier to pass gas when I need to and am generally happy. The side effects were TERRIBLE during my first two weeks on Levbid. As a college student, the blurred vision was extremely annoying and gave me some pretty bad headaches. I was also constantly going to the bathroom because I was drinking so much water to try and compensate for the dry mouth. I contemplated stopping the drug, but decided to wait out the full two week trial my doctor had prescribed me. I'm about three weeks in now and the blurred vision has completely gone away and the dry mouth is only slightly annoying. If anyone tries this drug and experiences bad side effects, try it for at least 2 weeks to see if your body will adjust. Mine did.

I have been on this medication for IBS about a month now. It has worked wonders with the abdominal cramping associated with the syndrome and have regulated my stools. There were a few days I forgot to take it and noticed a difference when I had to race to the bathroom. You're supposed to take the pills 12 hrs a part, which makes it a nuisance, but if it's regulating my bowel habits and gas ... Show Full Comment

There were a few days I forgot to take it and noticed a difference when I had to race to the bathroom. You're supposed to take the pills 12 hrs a part, which makes it a nuisance, but if it's regulating my bowel habits and gas, I can handle that.
