Dear all,
I am getting regular cramping and spasms that come and go throughout the day. It’s been the case for years but a little more frequently this time. Due to this, I’m not able to empty my pouch the way I would have liked to. I currently use fennel tea and peppermint oil to help with the cramps, but was wondering if you could please advise me on other options that would help relive these cramps. Herbal teas? Tablets?
many thanks to you all
Mary

Bentyl!!! Bentyl saved my life when I had these problems. You need a prescription for it though.
Thanks a lot for your reply! Is Bentyl a condensed name/ acronym or the actual name itself? I live in London so I’ll have a word with my practitioner for a prescription. Thank you so much once again

Bentyl can have two names, the first one is a brand name and the second name is a generic name. I hope they have it in London hopefully.
Love your name by the way 
Bless you darling, thank you so much.

Your welcome hon! I hope it works for you! Bentyl did wonders for me, it works very fast too! Luckily I do not need it anymore but that would be my first choice if I needed it!
I second the bentyll! It omes in 10 or 20 mg. 20 is considered therapeutic for pouchies. I actually take it WITH lomotil and sleep through the night. If I forget, I am up several times going to the bathroom

Yeah Bentyl is magic!!!
Were you able to get the Bentyl???
I take levsin (sub lingual). They are a life saver. In 5-10 minutes my spasms cramps and urges to go disappear like magic.
