> Does anyone know a good medication for IBS with diarreah promidant? I tried Bentyl but that didn't work and Levsin (hyoscyamine)only works a little.
Dicetel (pinaverium bromide) works like a charm (for me). Available widely, except in US. Sorry, if that's where you live. http://www.solvaypharma.ca/en/products/HCP/dicetel.asp
The FDA permits medically authorized importation of agents which treat disorders for which no FDA-approved treatment already exists. This drug qualifies, AFAIK.
The FDA rules covering importation are here:

If your doctor imports a drug for your treatment, that is the best possible route. Second best would be a letter from your doctor, to accompany the drug during shipment.
