Hi I have the worst mornings every, I can be in the bathroom and 1/2 hour or two like today, cramped out in pain. When should I take bentyl? I'm thinking the minute I wake up roll over and take it b/c usually after I wake, no doubt, 10 steps and I'm in the bathroom for ever in pain. I'm trying leaving all sugar alone for a couple of days. I've haven't had yeast in two days nothing is helping bulk up the stool, it's like watching play dough come out, it's terrible. Anyone have this?

You can try taking the Bentyl before you go to bed to help with the morning urgency/crampin and possibly after you wake up. On my bottle of Bentyl, it states that it can be taken every 6 hours. I usually take mine only when I start to cramp and then I kick myself because I knew I should've taken it earlier to avoid the cramping in the first place.
