[QUOTE="Terryforvols, post: 138401, member: 2127"] I have Crohn's disease with IBS, a WONDERFUL combination!! I have severe pain due to bowel damage from the Crohn's and am on very strong narcotics, which for most people would be constipating, but not me. Along with the pain, I have severe, severe abdominal cramps (IBS). I use Librax, which calms the cramping down and has Librium in it, which helps with anxiety, etc. It helps diarrhea, but I walk a very fine line with it because I go easily to constipation. I find it a lifesaver because my cramping, which is very bad first thing in the a.m., is also affected by my stress level. When my clock goes off at 4:20 a.m., I take 2 Librax and extended release morphine. This doesn't stop the cramping, but it does make it so that I can get out of bed and not spend 2 hours in the fetal position!! Without narcotics for pain control of my Crohn's, and Librax for IBS, I couldn't work or have a life. They truly have been a lifesaver for me, and I have been on the same dosage for more than 7 years with only a tweak during flares (when the pain is so bad that morphine only takes the edge off!!). If you haven't tried it, ask about Librax; it's a generic, so you can get it cheaply, too, which is always a plus!! Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
