cat,Bentyl is an antispasmodic so basically it calms the colon . The peristaltic motion is what move the naterials through the colon for removal. So if you have D it will slow it down some.A lot of us have contractions that are so strong they are essentially a cramp in the colon. Be very glad if you've never had them yet. They will stop you from doing anything until they pass!!

Cat,Do you have problems with reflux?? I would never second guess your doctor cause I do not have their training. Call up and ask him what symptoms the medicine is supposed to help.
