Dr. And Pain

Why are Dr's giving this out like CANDY and it doesn't help it just makes the matter act up MORE. I don't see why they give this for everyone? They don't test us for having IBS they just say I think you have it maybe and like they told me after I used it for over two weeks and nothing but Pain in the Belly and sharp pain and all the bloating, keep taking it as it some times takes up to six weeks before it starts working. Why should my Dr. tell me that and knowing I am in lots of pain and he needs to do something for the PAIN and not just go by what this Drug may or may not do.

Most doctors will have you try the medication before doing any tests for IBS. Reason being that the test is actually more painful and uncomfortable than just trying the medication (scope up the rectum). As for the time frame he gave you, that seems odd. This medication is supposed to take about 4 days tops to begin working. It started working for me after 1 day and has been working great up until now with bloating. Try some peppermint tea and drink a lot of water. Treating for IBS and gastrointestinal issues seems to be a big problem for many, myself included.
