IBS-D for 5+ years. On Librax ($$$$), sometimes Zantac/Prilosec. Just saw the doctor. Needing something stronger, and needing to gain weight. He said, drop the Librax. Get Immodium (no side effects, OTC, and affordable), take twice per day. I was over-medicating with probiotics and digestive enzymes. I am out of balance. He said I'll feel some withdrawal effects from Librax (aggitation/figgiting) but it would pass, and he could give me something for that if I found I needed it. This doctor, Dr. Harry Shephard, Altamonte Springs, Florida is the best. Been going to him since I was diagnosed. He's learned along with me and loves to be challenged! His goal, "Do no harm."
