Trying to find a solution to help me sleep when I awaken in middle of night due to IBS sxs of distention and associated discomfort. Currently using 3-5 mg Ambien on rare occasion when I'm exhausted but have impression that it makes my C worse. However, really hard to tell if this is true or not b/c soooo much makes my C worse.

Have never used Benadryl b/c it's an anti-histamine so it's supposed to have potential side-effect of causing C. However, if some C/IBSers have had success with it, I'll give it a try.

All drug experience/insights [for insomnia] welcomed!

Thanks, from a tired gal.
