Immodium causes C. So do sleeping pills and narcotics. If I have D or am getting D and not in a dire situation I would rather not take immodium because of the resulting C. if I am backpacking and start to gurgle I would take it though! But now that I have been on acacia for years if I screw up and get D, I can still be back on track the next day -if I don't take immodium but just ride it out.

Fasting is really bad too. It would be better to have thinned out Cream of Rice than go without eating. I think Cream of Rice or rice baby cereal is the absolute easiest, safest food.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
