Re: Immodium (was I need help.)       03/20/05 06:08 AM Edit Reply Quote atomic rose Reged: 06/01/04 Posts: 7013 Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!) I've had that reaction to the imodium when I take too much of it. The key is to take the smallest effective dose, which is often a lot less than what the package calls a "dose". When I was taking it for maintenance purposes, I was literally taking half a tablet - 1/4 dose - every day. Now that I'm only taking it as needed (and not needing it more than a couple times a month, thankfully), I take a full tablet (1/2 dose). It's effective, and I've had none of the binding-up problems with it. (And I'm an A, by the way, so I'm almost just as prone to constipation as I am diarrhea... so if a low dose doesn't bother me, that's saying something. LOL!) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
