I don't need to take Immodium daily, but when I have to go somewhere "risky" the next morning, I usually take one or two immodium before bed as preventative. Unfortunately, like you said, once explosive D comes, the immodium is not an immediate cure...it takes awhile to work. Other than that, I'll take 2 immodium mid-day if I'm having multiple BMs or loose and I'm nervous about going out(I'm doing the hypno too for anxiety.) If you do a search on "immodium", tons of posts will come up and you can read the discussions about it. Just try not to get in the habit of taking it just so you can "eat whatever you want"...b/c then you'll be just masking the IBS. Also, see how many and how often you can take it without getting constipated. If I took it every day (now with a better diet and Acacia), I would get C. Good luck!
