I just wanted to mention that I always understood D to be not only watery and loose stools but ALSO frequency or a large number of BMs. Tiny or thin stools are also considered D. I get all kinds, , and Immodium does help because, as Linz said, it slows your gut down. May I quote Heather?

"Immodium and Lomotil are the most common anti-diarrheal medications for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. They enhance intestinal water absorption, strengthen anal sphincter tone, and decrease intestinal transit, thereby increasing stool consistency and reducing frequency. Both are meant to be used for prevention of diarrhea by taking them prior to events (meals or stress) which typically trigger symptoms. They should be taken with plenty of fresh water. Immodium can be used as a daily maintenance drug..."
