Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC

My doc prescribed 8 imodium (loperamide) a day to control my D. I take 1 in the morning, 2 before meals and 1 at bedtime, and I've never been better. Imodium has been a lifesaver for me. I had 9-20 attacks a day unmedicated and dwindled to a bmi of 14. Today I am at a healthy weight and can actually eat outside my diet when I am stable, something I'd never be able to do with out my friend, Imodium!!

Try taking one before you eat, then see if you have an attack. It is ok to take before you have an attack, as a preventative. It's available over the counter, and you can start with the pills first (2mg loperamide). If you have explosive gas with your attacks you can try the chewables as well.

You don't deserve to feel this way!! Please try the medication and see if it helps. Best,
