It's good to know I'm not alone with 'dry mouth' syndrome with the Librax. As long as I was on 1 pill/day, I was ok, but when I began 2/day last week, I've had dry mouth that usually lasts all morning along. You're right about the acacia. I started with just 1/2 tsp 2x/day and then each week added 1/2 tsp until I was up to 7tsp/day, which figures out to almost 3 tbs/day. I began to have more attacks and thought that maybe I was taking too much, so the last few days I've cut back to 5tsp/day and may have to cut back more. We'll just have to experiment.
One thing the dry mouth does it to remind me to drink, drink, drink!

How much citrucel and acacia do you take? I take 2 citrucel/day along with about 5tsp of acacia. Do you have a reason for taking them both and not just the acacia or just the citrucel

Right now I just take Immodium if my BM's go into the spasm attack mode, if you get my drift. However, sometimes I think I wait too long to take the Immodium
jeenerz, that was exactly what I was doing, waiting WAY to long to take it. As far as the liver issue, as long as you never take more than the recommended daily dose, and as long as you don't have other liver problems or family history of it, it's my understanding that it's safe. Of course there are always individual exceptions which is why we all have to pay attention to what our bodies are telling us.
Good luck!

Hi,
Happy to hear you are doing better. If you are concerned about the immodium causing liver problems try doing a search on the net. Maybe you can find out something there or ask your pharmacist.

Just wanted to say hi and welcome to the boards. I see that you and your husband have a screenprinting business. My 18-year-old son has his own little screenprinting "business" in our garage. He bought the equipment himself and has been printing t-shirts for groups. He absolutely loves it! I have to make him come inside at night--and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and hear him in the garage working. He's going off to college this fall, and will have to leave it all behind since he will be in the dorm. I know he's going to miss it and the income it's bringing him.

Yes, Screen Printing tends to get into one's blood  we've had the business for about13 years and love working together. We do everything from T's to vehicle graphics to printing labels and magnets--lots of variety. With my IBS flaring up this last year, it has been wonderful to have our own business and use the 'little room' whenever I need to or go to work a little late--definitely has it's perks. Tell your son, good luck!

When I still got IBS attacks I would take Imodium as a preventative. My dr said NOT to do that...she said many IBS sufferers get hooked on doing that, as a precaution in case of an attack.
If you know you'll be in a stressful situation, avoid ALL fatty foods, just eat cooked oatmeal or something like that. I used to avoid ALL food right before a stressful event just to be safe.
