Irritable bowel syndrome and Amitriptyline

Kate Kestrel

Hi everyone,

has anyone on here been prescribed low dose Amitriptyline for Irritable Bowel Syndrome- and if so - did it help at all?

A family member of mine (who is also autistic) has had long standing issues with digestive problems and a consultant has prescribed this for them. They’ve been taking PPIs for ages but haven’t helped much (in fact I sometimes wonder if they’ve made things worse in the long run). 

If anyone else has tried Amitriptyline for this issue (or for any reason) I’d appreciate any insights into whether or not it’s been helpful to anyone. 

thanks :)

  • Nice to know you're still around, just quiet. (to borrow a phrase from a recently departed member) I mentioned you in a thread the other day, when talking of much-missed people. But it seems I rather jumped the gun there! Hope you get sorted out with helpful information, I'm not familiar with that medication
