What is the name of your state? OHIO
I'm a 65 year old male, retired engineer.
For the past 20 years I have suffered from a diagonsed with IBS or Neverous Stomach and undergone many test which came back negative. The last 10 years I have lived near Cleveland Ohio and treated by Kaiser HMO for the first 5 and the last 5 by Cleveland Clinic, both of which have computer systems so all doctors can see what meds your taking and what your treated for.
For my stomach Problems have been treated with Clidinium-Chlordiazepoxide Capsule 2.5-5 MG and Hyoscyamine Sulfate Tab Sublingual 0.125 MG. But my stomach problems continued causing me much pain ( cramps from Gas ) and embarrasment and a fear of eating out do to having a IBS attack. The problems I have had because of this have effected my whole life.
Also for the last 20 years I have been treated by the same doctors who treated my stomach problems for a rash or fungus on my rectal area, for which I was prescribed Triamcinolone. I always prescrided this for a rash on my legs the winter of 2007 by a CCF demotolagist .
On 6/11/08 after coming home at 1:30 PM from my part time job I applied some Triamcinolone to my legs as they were very dry. I ATE NOTHING. I then walked my dogs and with in 10 minutes I came down with severe gas pains and diarea. Since I knew it wasn't food, I investigated Triamcinolone and found this link which list Gas & Bloating as a rare side effect.

I am flabergasted that the same doctors who were treating me for IBS were really causing my IBS by prescribing this medicine " triamcinolone " I wouldn't take the triamcinolone cream all the time as my skin condition would get better for months on end, and so would my IBS, I never dreamed that this cream could cause GI problems.
BTW the paper work that comes with the tube of triamcinolone says nothing about gas or bloating as a side effect.
Needless to say I have stopped triamcinolone cream and my stomach is 1000% better even though its only been 6 days and I need more time to prove this
Do I have any recourse to collect monetary damages from these so called doctors or the people who make triamcinolone and not properly label the warnings.
Thanks
Bob
