I took Motofen for several years until it became unavailable. This was the only med I took for my Crohn’s disease and it was a wonder drug. I heard similar stories from others. So I’m elated that it is available again!!

Taking Motofen, I feel as close to "normal" as I would imagine. Car trips, going out to dinner with friends, in short, going anywhere where finding a bathroom is uncertain...all is possible with Motofen. I call it my "miracle pill." Why is it off the market? Help!

I have Crohns. The ease of using Motofen has made my life much easier. This medication has given me the confidence to be able to go on outings with my family that would not be consider without Motofen.

I've had to suddenly stop this drug after taking it for 15 years. Now I am also housebound and need relief from somewhere.

I have used this drug for 5 years. Without it, I am almost housebound with IBS. I have not been able to find a replacement for this since it has been on backorder from the manufacturer. I have tried many drugs over the years, but nothing works as good as this.

My experience with this drug is very similar to the last patient's. I love it, it works wonders for me. Now it's unavailable, and I could just scream
