I used to take Lomotil, which greatly helped me. Then my prescription ran out, and I was not able to get it refilled. I see that a lot of you seem to like Immodium. The problem I have with it is this-it stops the diarrhea for a while, and then I get a kind of "rebound" for the next couple days. In other words, I will have very small, hard stools because of the binding effect. Then the diarrhea will come back after a couple days if I'm not careful. I asked a nurse about this once, and she said when you take it too often, your colon gets into a "cycle" or something like that. For example, it gets full of feces and you need to clean it out (not to be graphic). So she told me to drink a bottle of Magnesium Citrate, which I did. Of course, it made me very sick. I don't know if there's an answer to this problem. Just wondering if anyone else has that reaction to the Immodium.
