Levsin is the better of the 2 between It and bentyl. Less side effects but could make you feel loopy. It’s best taken 45 minutes before meals if you are having bursts of frequent BMs right after meals. If the BMs all come in bursts after eating it’s a spasmodic Pouch. If spaced through the day it’s probably Pouchitis.

Generic of levsin is called Hyoscamine.

Donnatal is another anti-spasmodic drug which is milder than levsin and bentyl but I am not sure if it’s still being used or covered by insurance. There was some problem with it a few years back.
