Okay, so... taking immodium two days in a row to ensure no mishaps in my first couple days of work... and .... consequently... I have not made a BM at all... UGH... sooo... to try and get it out of me, I'm drinking coffee and eating fruit, and hopefully it does the trick... although, I will HAVE to take another immodium before work... I can't wait to get my first check so I can start SFS and the diet full out!!!

Just thought I would get some understanding here!!

HUGS

How many Immodium are your taking?? You can also by the liqued kind and try that so you can take a smaller amount!!!
How is the new job going??? I hope you like it!!

I rember our military days!! The pay sucked!!! So I understand your needing to wait till you get your cheeck!! I would have been in big trouble if I had had IBS back then!!! OY

I would try this when you have a couple days off!! Try taking one in the morning or one before bed!!! You may only need to take one a day to stay stable!!!

Glad you like your Job!!!! That is great!!!!

Thanks for the advice... I think I could get away with JUST the one before work... I didn't take mine after lunch today, I should be fine....

I take way more than that!! I take 2 in the morning, 1 before lunch, 1 after lunch if I get symptoms, and 2 before bed. I "go" every 3-4 days. It's the only routine for me that knocks out the D!!

You're doing great! Congrats again on the job, S!

Does it help for you to just eat bread and stuff to stop yourself out, instead of the Immodium? I know when people are really severe that only the Immodium will stop things (I had that time, too). But, maybe just eating the purest soloubles like french bread and white rice ONLY will be enough to keep you from getting sick at work? That is my action plan for "iffy" days, or days that Ifeel fine, but am doing something really important that I can't get sick for.
The never ending balancing act between going too much and not going at all is just too much to handle sometimes, I feel your pain!
