I have had many DD flare ups and lately (twice) I thought for sure I was going to need antibiotics. I decided to do two things before I gave in before I would go to my doctor.
One:I immediately only consumed liquids. Two: took dicylomine( Bentyl) 20 mg. Three: Applied heat to area and finally was still having cramps and diarrhea/backache so I took 1 probiotic capsule.(Florestor).
Today I feel much better and am staying on a soft diet.
Hope this helps someone.
