Dr. Eric Kaplan answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Generally: I recommend dietary and fluid management and have the best success with this meds available have limited success and usually only mask some of the symptoms. Maintain regular eating times during the day, consistent frequency of meals day to day, similar foods and quantities and plenty of fluids.
