Have had up to 12 times daily diarrhea since a mild case of Covid for about nine months now. Colonoscopy normal stool sample normal. Doctor prescribed Bentyl. After taking it for two days, I feel like my diarrhea is worse. After scrolling through this site, I haven’t seen this prescribed for anybody else. Is it not a recommended treatment?

Consider taking Immodiun, and Activia yogurt twice daily. It really help me. It has been months I am doing this.

After several years of regular diarrhea, my sister discovered just last week that it’s been caused by a daily drink of Zipfizz energy drink, specifically, the sweeteners Xylitol and Sucralose in it. She stopped drinking the Zipfizz and her diarrhea is completely gone. So you may want to examine if there is something you’re eating or drinking daily that might have an ingredient that Covid has given you an intolerance for.

I got Bentyl for my abdominal cramps, but it made me really groggy and weird in my head so I am not taking it. If you have painful cramps like I do, ask for Hyocosamine. That really helps me. Never heard of Bentyl for diarrhea.
