Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I just read about your chemo. You must have gone through a lot and now this is terrible that you have to deal with this too. I have taken 6 immodium too during my worst days! But now what I try to do if I have something major is take two immodium before bed that evening (even if I feel perfectly fine) and then 2 as soon as I wake up. That helps a little b/c it gives some time for the Immodium to kick in. Also, others have suggested taking the chewables which work faster. You should definitely see a difference when you start taking the acacia, especially as you increase your dosage. Make sure your mornings are safe (I had been drinking coffee) and don't overeat at your mealtimes. I am curious as to what links have been researched between cancer and IBS later on. If there is any info. out there, maybe there is another piece of the puzzle for you. Hope you feel better.
