Hi everyone,
I've used imodium off and on for the last 10 years, and regularly for the last 5. In the last 5 I have relied on only immodium, as other treatments don't work for my IBS-D (I've tried them all, they work for about a month then stop working altogether).
I take 60 2mg pills by Rx every month (loperamide), and buy a supplemental 24 OTC imodium advanced. These I take in the morning as a preventative, and during meals to stop attacks in their tracks. The Rx loperamide I take 2ce a day at regular intervals, one b4 lunch, one b4 dinner.
I get 3 month checkups to get glucose, iron, liver and thyroid tests, and have been in "perfect health" according to these tests for the last 5 years. I have IBS-D (gassy explosive) for 21 years, and have had recognized improvement in the last 5 simply by taking imodium.
Hope this helps!
