Not sure if I spelled that right.

Does anyone know of that medication that prevents colon/rectal spasms? I can't remember the name.

Anyone take it? I'm pretty bad right now and think I should be taking some.

Thanks,
John

I've tried Levsin and Bentyl. Levsin works better for me. To be honest I'm not really sure if it helps specifically with spasms but it calms down my cramping, pain and gas. Good Luck!

I take Bentyl but I really don't think it does much. I actually quit taking it when my prescription ran out but I seemed to get worse afterward so I refilled it. It seems to work wonders in some.

Bentylol...which is the same as Bentyl. It's dicyclomine.
I've never tried Levsin.

John, do you mean rectal tenesmus?

If that's what you're talking about, then I can tell you that the homeopathic remedy called

Mercurious Corr (30C potency, 2-3 pellets every few minutes until it calms down) works great!
