My IBS-D is actually helped when I take an Immodium when I'm having an "episode." For me, it helps relieve the pain. I do this sparingly though.

Yes, I do that too, sometimes! Then I get constipated for days. And I only try to take a half or even a quarter of an Immodium. It's terrible living with this "disease". There's never a day when I don't have cramps and abdominal pain. I don't eat anything that has dairy; no vegetables, no beans, no fruits. I do take Levsin for the pain, It helps somewhat.

I've been talking Imodium for years before I go anywhere to control my ibs-d. I think it's backfired right now though, terrible constipation right now. So painful 😣

I was told by a GI specialist that immodoim and Pepto can actually paralyze your gut if you take too much so I was told to not take that stuff anymore.
