My Dr. has me taking Donnatal extentabs pills 2xday everyday. From what I have been reading on here, maybe I shouldn't. What do you guys think? By the way Sorbitol is in immodium ,too. It's in everything, just like the gas-x pills i take also..

My Immodium doesn't have sorbitol.....thank goodness....
Do you get the store brand? Is it actually listed in the ingredients? Sorbitol is evil and I don't want it in my Immodium!!!!! I read every label of everything I buy to be sure it's not in there lurking around somewhere.

That makes sense, then. I couldn't figure out why a normal swallowable pill would have a sweetener in it!

Well, there it is lurking around in the chewables!!!! Good thing you noticed that! Try the Immodium that's not chewables....it shouldn't have sorbitol.... but.....always read the label anyway!!
