After dealing with urgenct bathroom issues for 3yrs now the only thing the tests have shown is a slight wheat intolerance. My celiac came back negative. I have had blood work, stool samples, ctscans, ultrasounds, colonoscopy, biopsy done. I have gastritis, divirtiulosis and a wheat intolerance. So what does all this mean? I am taking lomotil which works great and mainly eat bagels, pancakes (no syrup) noodles, french bread stuff like that for food the same stuff all the time. So my question is do I just stick with the lomotil and how I've been eating or should I try elimination eating and try to make it so I don't have to rely on meds. I personally won't go a day without taking the lomotil unless I know 100% I don't have to go anywhere and even then if I did I would take him before I go. I'm just at a loss. After 3 yrs is all of this just ibs-d and something I'm just going to have to figure out each day how to deal with it. I think I thought eventually they would have figured out it was something else and since they havent' I'm a little down in the dumps. I am happy its nothing major but was hoping it was something that made sense on why I was having the urgency problems. So any suggestions on what to do next if anything. Maybe eliminate wheat even though the doc didn't tell me to cause the celiac test came back positive but I still had a test show wheat intolernace. Also what if anything does gastritis affect. Please any advice???????

i take about 1/4 of teaspoon twice a day just started taking 1/2 teaspoon twice a day but too much gas so backed down...i just wasn't sure if acacia could be the change in my ibs or if it's the librax i'm on? i know i don't get enough IF but i'm afraid to eat it b/c of the spasms..also realized oatmeal makes me feel bloated..i feel better not eating breakfast only drinking hot tea instead..

Could I ask how much/what dosage per day of Lomotil you are taking?
-------------------- IBS-D. Or so a doctor says.

I take 2 lomotils not sure the strength but I usually take them both in the morning and it lasts all day. I also take Librium when needed for anxiety but not daily.
