Hi, Ashley!

Yes, I take Imodium frequently but not every day. I take one caplet whenever my tummy feels a little iffy. I used to wait until I had an attack, but learned from this board actually to take it as a preventive, to nip the attack in the bud before it happens. I also take it before meals out. (Restaurant meals have always been my worst trigger.)

I'm SO GLAD it worked for you. Regarding the gas, about three months ago I started taking two Phazyme (aka Gas-X or Gas Relief) every morning and haven't had a bad gas problem since. Again I used to take only as needed after I got gassy.

And of course I only take the recommended dose and never exceed the maximum daily dose on either one. It does stop me up a bit sometimes, but never for more than 2-3 days (which I still consider being "regular"). And I infinitely prefer that to an attack of D.
