I was dx with IBS-D eight years ago. I started out taking Lotronex and Immodium, then went to Levbid and Immodium, but having 'hot flash' type symptoms and seriously dry mouth / conjunctiva issues made me quit. I have gone several months wihtout prescription or OTC meds, and it has gotten so that even if I am very careful with the supplements / diet, I can't remember what it is like to NOT have D daily. It's better since my hysto last fall, and luckily, with everything I've learned from heather's books, it is not painful, and very rarely do I have the gas / bloating I was getting while on the scrip meds, but still, that insecurity about where the closest bathroom is can be SO frustrating. I'm thinking maybe I should increase my soluble fiber in the a.m. and p.m.? Also, do you think this would help with my complete inability to exercise (even walking)without setting off a two day attack?
