I could have written your comments! One difference - when I am having a flare-up I need to watch what I eat - especially oil (think anything fried), fresh fruit, wine - even as a recipe ingredient, etc. I have tried many meds - Xifaxan worked mostly but let me down with a recent flare up. I, too, find Immodium a great help. Hopefully, you have a gastroenterologist you like and trust - that's important. There are many more good days than flare-ups - hang in there and let us know how you do.
