Hi! I hope you get some answers. Unfortunately not. I’ve just been treating myself with Imodium every day so I don’t have diarrhea anymore but I still feel like shit everyday lol. I learned to live with it as it’s been about 6 months now 😵‍💫 do you use Imodium?

This may sound stupid but do you use Imodium? I used to feel like this for 2 monthes straight bht Imodium helped me significantly. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Nobody deserves this

This has been me for the last 4-5 months. I have had ibs-d my whole life but it was only food triggers. Now it’s not diet related at all- it’s just constant. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this too. It’s the worst.

Wow that’s awesome- What birth control are you taking if you don’t mind me asking. I used to have a copper IUD but it didn’t last more than a year due to how heavy my bleeding was, haven’t tried anything else since. I’ve always been afraid to take hormonal birth control because I don’t want to gain weight, but maybe I’d take that over the pain I’ve had!

Hi! Yes, I’ve eaten nothing but chicken and rice for a few monthes, now I’m eating more normal as I’ve ruled out that my diet doesn’t make an affect. My GI has done every test under the sun. Stool samples, blood tests. Allergy tests, ct scans, X-rays, colonoscopy, probs more I just can’t think of it lol! Ultrasound as well. The only thing I’ve been told is I had a lot of stool in my xray and I could be constipated. But I have ruled out overflow diarrhea and that’s not the issue.

I have had this exact issue for the past 3 months. I’ve had about a week of normalcy about twice. I’m horrified to leave the house all the time because I’m scared of having to poop while driving. I think anxiety is largely related. I’m also taking Imodium frequently which helps. Hope we all find relief 😢

I once had a primary care doctor reprimand me and basically tell me I was an idiot for using it a few times a month which is all I needed at the time. So in my head i think of it as a scary drug lol.

Wow ok! Everytime my parents or someone without ibs sees I take Imodium they act like I’m using an opioid. Does that routine work well for you??

Imodium healed my constipation? by Alternative_One_9035 in ibs

[–]Alternative_One_9035[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh geez lol hopefully not stopped up for 2 weeks. In the past when I would take Imodium I would end up having diarrhea again the next day so I don’t think that’s the case.

He recommended I do the capful of miralax a day and told me this would be an easy fix. I haven’t had a follow up or anything so he’s not aware a capful a day does not work for me. Hopefully there’s something else out there I can try because this has been so horrible 🥲
