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.

I Typically Take Immodium. If Taken Too Often Will It Stop Working Or Will I Have To Keep Taking More For It To Work?
I take Pepto Bismol and it seems to work.

Food After A Flare
once you have had a flare do you eat that day or following day and what do you eat ?
I have no diet as I dunno if anything upsets my stomach I can eat the same things and then some days have a flare cant seem to find a pattern :( but never know what to eat after one usually I go with out food for rest day or following day because to scared to eat :(
I aso have just broth, maybe crackers, applesauce for a couple of days after a flare-up. Certainly nothing else. NO milk or dairy.
Feeling Of Having To Move Bowels
Most times, after moving my bowels I have the constant feeling of still having to go. I do go a lot but it takes many bowel movements until the feeling goes away. It is miserable. I am happiest on days when I don’t go at all!
Can anyone else identify with this and is there anything that helps. Thanks.
Mine too. Constipation for almost 2 weeks, and then diarrhea for a week. I suffer from migraine as well. I am afraid I'm going to get fired. 😒

Hi, I Am So Fed Up Of Having To Rush To Toilet With Diarrhoea, & Not Always Getting There In Time.
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
Doctor has prescribed suppositories which I use for every bowel movement, if I didn’t use these I would get all of the symptoms of wanting to go, but unable to go, until I had to rush to the toilet with chroni diarrhoea, & would be lucky if I made it in time. Don’t know what… read more
Never used Immodium this way but will sure try that! Messing myself for 25 years..so degrading! Dont know what to eat anymore! Also have gained 15 lbs !!! Ugh!
I Recently Started Colestipol. I Feel Like I Am Having The Opposite Problem. Instead Of Upset Stomachs 3/4 Times A Day, I Can’t Go At All.
Dx IBS-D but have had weeks that I am constipated and then diarrhea for days. I can have weeks of normal GI going-ons as well. So wondering if this dx is correct or if something else could be going on. I was treated for diverticulitis (suspected) in February. Things were GREAT while I was on those meds.
Yep that's IBS for ya! It's very hard to control and unpredictable. I've had it for many years. I just deal with it on a day to day basis. When I go out I don't eat. I mostly eat plain soft food...no… read more
I Experience Diarrhea On And Off For Years. I Would Rather Not Take Imodium Every Time I Have This Problem. How Do You Deal With This?
My friend who is a nutritionist suggested Activated Charcoal and eliminate carbs and sugar for awhile. Her daughter has ulcerative colitis and goes to an alternative dr.
What are any other suggestions.
Sounds interesting!
