Be careful with the Immodium. It can plug you up. I only take it when I have the "real" runs. Kind of coming out of me like water. I noticed you mention "sticky" in your posts. If you take Immodium when you have this consistency, you may be plugged up for awhile. Sometimes it's better to let it all out, instead of stopping the flow. But, I will use Immodium on occasion, especially if I need to be somewhere.

oh no...but do you think when I am able to go to the bathroom it will help bulk the up the stool from the bad foods I ate? like 2 symphony bars w ith nuts, 2 pieces of pizza,fudge sundae from mcdonalds, 2 or 3 double cheese burgers from this week,oh and not to mention a couple pieces of german chocolate torte cake? I know really really bad and I feel so bad and guilty for doing it. I really hope it bulks up the stool,I notice when I eat chocolate my stool is gross and smelly..

If you continue to eat like that...nothing in the world is going to help you, including Immodium. I don't know about it bulking up the stool. You might be better with a fiber supplement for that. Like I said, I only use Immodium in a pinch, and it can be a life-saver, but you can also abuse it. You don't want to totally plug yourself up. That isn't healthy either.

All of that food would make a person without IBS have stomach issues. I am not surprised that you don't feel well. I don't think immodium is going to help you like you want it to. I use immodium when I have an attack of D or very watery stools. I only use one tablet and I usually don't go for a least one day after and sometimes two.
I honestly think you need to stop spending so much time trying to find a "magic cure" for IBS and put your energy into eating healthy and IBS safe. Once you do this I think you will be surprised at how much better you feel and how much more freedom you will have as far as being able to leave the house.
There is nothing you can take that will make your IBS go away and allow you to eat anything you want. Some of us take medication that works in combination with eating safe foods and we become stable. You have to find what works best for you but eating the way you are now is not working.

I think it would be best for you to get a handle on your eating. Immodium isn't going to change your IBS. Feeling bad or guilty after eating like that isn't going to help much. Just move forward and quit beating yourself up about it. That gets you NOWHERE!
I have done the same thing myself. Since I don't suffer immediate consequences with my food choices, it is easy for me to go overboard at times. I don't get cramps or pain or even immediate D or C, but in the days to come I will feel it. You have to make a decision if you want health and to feel good, or to continue to eat the junk. If you want to continue to eat the junk, then you are wasting our time.
Just get on with it. Get on a good diet, exercise, use medication if necessary, and don't focus so much of your life on your stool. I guarantee you will feel better. Remember, what you FOCUS on expands. Focus on health and well-being instead of what's in the toilet.
