Gastrointestinal Problems
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am having lots of gastro problems. I have experienced cdiff diverticulitis. They did a colonoscopy and didn't find anything. Im at a loss on what to do. Opioid medication seems to be the only thing that helps. Does anybody else have this problem

Sorry to here you are going through this. I have had colitis and IBS as well but I take Bentyl and that seems to help a little. But I will say that in my case, no matter what I eat, my stomach still gets very irritated, so guess what, forget the crazy diets or eating the right foods, because the outcome is the same. So I just eat what I want and have fun with it and deal with the consequences later LOL

I have IBS pain and take Bentyl to control spasms.i also probiotics. I've had two colonoscopies and gall bladder surgery. My pain is on my right side and the pain refers to my right shoulder.

Have you tried a good probiotic like Align? It may help..also Aloe juice from a health food store.

I stopped the Bentyl because it made me too loopy to function. I have found that ginger tea with lemon helps as well as if not better. Only having spasms in the morning when I have to go otherwise 2 to 4 cups of ginger tea keeps the discomfort under control for me.
