Amy,
Check the archives on IBS. If I recall, there is quite a bit of
information in there.
If your MD is not back tomorrow, speak to whomever s/he left on call.
Sounds like the Bentyl you are taking is helping. Maybe it needs a bit
more time to work even better.
Also, you might want to check http://www.medhelp.org. They have
archives for a Gastroenterology forum. It has a lot of information for
you to go through.
