Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hey and welcome to the boards! I am also 15 and I have IBS-D like your son. I have to take Imodium every morning in order to attend classes and become seemingly normal. I take a cooking class and I can't ever eat anything we cook so everyone in that class thinks that I'm just allergic to everything lol. Well, the Imodium basically freezes all of your excretory system so if he takes it, he shouldn't feel much (if any) pain and, if you use the pills and not the liquid, he can still go every night around 9. The liquid Imodium makes me not go at all for a day and a half! My doctor says that it's fine to take Imodium every morning as long as I don't take it on the weekends so that my system can function normally for a few days. Also, I am very proud of you for being so supposrtive! My mom tends to snap at me when I have to reject something because of the ingredients. She always says that a little won't hurt, when sometimes it does! So keep it up and I hope this advice helps!
