Yikes, that is an insanely small amount to eat in the day! I definitely eat more than that, but I am sticking to what I know doesn't make me sick.
But you're sick right now. Stuff that was OK when your stomach was feeling better might violently disagree with it now. That's what's happening to me right now. Yeah, so bread isn't well-balanced (and I do eat about 3/4 loaf each day, which I don't think is tiny at all), but anything more well-balanced is gonna go right through me anyway. Better to hang on to what little nutrients I do get!

I have taken pretty much all of them (well, a lot anyway) but right now I WAS taking Prodiem powder until my cramps got too bad and I thought it might help if I stopped. Instead, I am taking Celevac tablets (which I got in the UK) which are chewable, and a loser dose.
Never heard of that one. Are all the ingredients OK? Does it have anything iffy in it, like sorbitol? I guess I probably shouldn't recommend stopping it, but personally I always felt much better once I stopped taking the SFS. If you've been on the same kind for quite awhile it probably isn't hurting.

I find that if I take too much immodium, I run into other problems like major stomach cramps, stabbing pains and severe nausea. Otherwise, I'd probably just keep popping them like candy. Plus, as soon as they are out of my system, I get wicked attacks.
That's kinda what's happening to me lately, too. If I take them I can ward off an attack longer, but the attack is much worse. If I don't take them, the attacks are more frequent but they aren't as bad. I try to take frequent small doses and that helps a bit.

I will look into Levsin and see how I go on that one, maybe. I am really broke, so right now I am not taking any prescription meds but once I have a better income, I will ask for a script.
The generic for Levsin must be cheap because my co-pay is $1.07 for 30. Tell your doctor you're broke and ask if he can give you samples to try before you pay for the prescription -- this works for me though sometimes they just don't have samples of the drug.
Get some sleep and relax!!! Maybe you're just going through a stupid stress-induced IBS attack and you'll just have to wait it out. It isn't AF time is it? Everything has been pretty wonky for me since I went off BC. I keep getting my period (or is it maybe just bleeding? don't know) when I'm having my D attacks. At one point I was bleeding for over two weeks!!! It is just never-ending joy around here
