I have been resistant to using Imodium because it isn't "natural", but decided that I am going to use all methods necessary to be able to take care of my large active family and travel as needed. This past weekend when leaving for my two-year old grand-daughter's birthday party a three hour drive away the diarrhea hit so I used Imodium. It stopped everything............for three days! I was careful to drink a lot and take my Citrucel and stick to the diet as closely as I could. What has anybody else discovered when using something like Imodium for those times when you have to travel? Does anybody use this for normal day-to-day maintenance? It sure was nice to find that it worked--I didn't have to worry about the diarrhea for the entire weekend, at least, but then I had other problems.
