Whoa! 4 pills is A HELL of alot! One usually does the trick for me! IBS tummies tend to be more sensitive to remedies like Immodium as well as triggers. If it's really bad, take one, wait an hour or so and then take another if you need too...but never four at once!!!
Re. taking it as a preventative, I'd recommend trying taking one in the morning at breakfast time. That's what I did when I was stabilising and it really helped. If you get an attack and get bad D, you can then take another one later in the day if need to.
Btw, this diet is brilliant for IBS. It can take a while though...weeks or months to stabilise, not mere days! So give it a good chance. If it doesn't work then then that's a sign that it probably isn't only IBS!
Re. doctors, you need to get a referral to a gastroenterologist (GI doc). It is very important to get checked out properly. Good luck!
