Immodium question?

Post by adoptbc4 »

I currently follow a limited diet and take Immodium twice a day, 4 days a week, on the days I work. I do not have a bowel movement those days, so I back off the Immodium on my days off. I seem to be going back and forth between diarrhea and constipation, which is definitely making my nausea worse and keeping me up some nights.

If I take only 1 pill at work (work 9-10 hr days), I can't function, run the risk of an accident.

Suggestions?! I will also be talking to my GI about this tomorrow--oh, the glamour of it all, lol!

Robin,

As I suggested when you asked that question in another post, try 1 and a half pills. As you have found, dosage matters with Imodium.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
