Lomtil or Co Phenodrone is the only thing that really helps bad IBS Day days, but it is no longer available in the UK. Loperamide is not enough on bad days and although Codeine helps I don't want to use it during the day or become dependent on it . Any suggestions?
I'd used lomotil on and off for many years. It does make me feel sick sometimes but that's not the norm. It's a wonder for me

I was just wondering does anyone experience body aches and fatigue with IBS? Last night after I went to sleep I started having body aches and was like NO!! I can.t get sick... I did have a flare up yesterday and it when on all day and apparently through the night with the aches and then this morning too. I've been on a light diet since yesterday.

Lately I have been having lower back pains when I have major attacks. Looking forward to getting home and seeing my doctors and get answers.
One day at a time! Had a good day today!
My Dr seems to think it's the medication. It's very debilitating. I'm afraid to do anything. It gets worse as the day goes on. By like 3 I have to stay seated. Just wondering if anyone else has had any head issues.
I have taken lomotil for years and never had a problem, I take 2tablets 3 times a day. Sorry you are having problems as the drug works very well for me!
I’ve been like this for many years but it’s getting much worse as I’ve got older, I’m now 68 yrs. & have had many accidents during this time. I’m at my wits end as this is controlling my life. I am otherwise fit & healthy
