I haven't had trouble - but I really only use Immodium for emergencies - Like when I am away from home and bathrooms and am worried about a possible attack!
Stick with the diet as close as possible and you will begin to feel a lot better soon!

I take a lot of imodium too, but that's never happened to me. If you have bile in your stools (or diarrhea) they can turn green. But black stools can be a sign of blood and must be checked IMEDIATELY with your doctor. If this happens again, please be absolutely sure to make an appointment with your doctor.
