Paul, Is that the same thing as IPS? My Mayo GI diagnosed me with IPS and also IBS when I had my colon. One medication instantly made me sick so I'm back to Dicyclomine 20MG 4 times a day and also Norco 10/325 up to 4 times a day, for pain but it also slows things down, and up to 8 Loperamide (anti-diarrheal) generic Imodium. I have the prescription for Cholestyramine Oral Suspension but have not tried it. The reason I didn't try it was because it binds food and medications alike. I take medications for other health problems and they were afraid it would bind them and I wouldn't get the benefit from them.

Like I said, I don't know if it's the same thing but I've never had a nice 4-8 times a day. I've never had to go as many times as you do, some where in-between. The GI that did my scope at Mayo said I should only need to go 4 times a day as my pouch was well constructed and was a good size.
