Reply to "Desperate! Bentyl (dicyclomine) and Rifaximin (Xifaxan) Low Fiber diet"

I used to have frequent movements several hours after meals. It’s been a routine for many years, albeit with lots of “straining”. In fact, I now have a hernia from what I suspect is years of straing so hard to evacuate my pouch. (No....they ruled out the hernia being involved in this bout as it doesn’t intersect any bowel and isnt strangulated or threatening) 

 

But now what I have 5 weeks into this is tremendous pain through my abdomen, stomach and near my scar where my temporary stoma was years ago. Usually not long after I eat breakfast and lasting most of the day.  My whole stomach is literally sore to the touch from it. I struggle all day to evacuate anything, then at night when I finally fall asleep over my insomnia, I’ve had to start wearing diapers to catch the leakage.  My anxiety is to the point that my general doctor has me on Lexapro.  Yet my GI dr says, stop asking us questions, follow the plan, I’ll have a virtual visit with you next month. Scans and scopes find no explanation. I’m confused why I’m even on bentyl since it would seem to make me more blocked up feeling. I dread mealtimes  so much. Just the thought of good is repulsive. 

It has been suggested that I take Visbiome. It just came yesterday. But It seems like everything I take has some “other” side effect. And if a very strange concept to me. So I’m really nervous about taking it. 

Anyone have success with it?
