irritable bowel syndrome
"I've had IBS for as long as I can remember.  It gets so bad that I vomit from the pain, then about 15 years ago began passing out from the abdominal cramping.  Finally talked to my dr after passing out while driving.  Tried different drugs, and he finally gave me lomotil which worked but made my constipation worse.  Finally, I became a nurse and started working in a prison  I discovered  dicyclomine is what they were prescribed so I asked my dr about it.  It was been a life saver!!  I take it only as needed when I start to feel the cramping coming on.
The only downside is it makes me feel kind of high.  Maybe it's just dizziness & tiredness but I've been known to fall down a couple of times using it.  It beats passing out on the toilet though!"
