First of all, welcome to the boards! Glad you found us!
Honestly? I didn't see improvements after 7 days on the safe diet either. I think some of us just have stubborn systems or something... I really didn't feel consistently better until I'd been on the diet for a couple months, and had worked my soluble fiber supplement up to around 8g/day. I hope you don't take this as discouraging in any way! What I'm really saying is hang in there - even if it seems like it's not working, it likely will if you stick with it.
In the beginning, I still took Immodium pretty often. In fact, I took it almost every day, but in a small dose - sometimes as little as half a tablet. I found it really did help control the D a little... I know there's others on here who have done the same thing. I know you want to get off the Immodium - and you will, eventually - but at first, taking it might be a good idea.
I'm glad you'll be seeing a doctor in November. It's important to rule out other disorders and problems. Good luck, and keep coming back!
