Comment:
did not help the diarrhea and it caused a GI spasm or something. ?? like an internal tremor. Pharmacist says its fairly common, but its not notated in the product information and my Dr. didn't mention it either.

Comment:
I've had diarrhea for the past 20 years and can't find a reason for it (my doctor blames my diet, but it doesn't matter what I eat). It did help me, but not entirely. And I think I developed skin tags from it...can't be sure, but the timing indicates it.

Comment:
This medication has been so beneficial in controlling my IBS episodes. It really has been life saving,allowing me to work my job without any stomach explosions! Only side effect that I have noticed is dry mouth and possibly causing dry eyes...but this could also be due to allergies.
