Anti-Spasmodic Drugs

[Mom2oneboy]

Have any of your kids ever been on any anit-spasmodic drugs? Did it help with the cramping at all?

We are on hyoscamine. I don't think it is helping much (maybe a little). We have not been on it terribly long though..maybe a couple/few weeks(?) From what I understand many GI's are reluctant to hand out pain meds. Poor kiddos!!

I think Andrew tried Buscopan once but it didn't do anything.

Ko has taken Bentyl for quite sometime. He never noticed it doing anything. He now takes it and also peppermint oil capsules. He says he thinks the peppermint oil helps his tummy more than anything else.

Any side effects that he notices? I got some today for my son and will give it to him tonight to see if it helps with his morning cramping. Morning is the worst for him! He does his EN feeding overnight so that's when he gets the majority of his "food".

We havent noticed any side effects.. Hope it helps your son.

Sarah was prescribed Buscopan and it did diddly squat but she was undiagnosed at the time and in hindsight that would have been like putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound.

Shelley - have you tried the peppermint oil? Is it working?

We have been prescribed Buscopan. Going to try it out tonight.

Eliza has tried bentyl, periaction (sp), livsin, and another one I can't remember. None have helped so far....

No, I haven't tried the peppermint oil but have added it to my list of potential "tools" to use.
