I think all the types of exercise you mentioned are good. It's all very gentle. I have to watch it though - even powerwalking pushing myself a bit to keep the speed up can cause an imbalance in my bowels. Yoga is great!
Don't beat yourself up about the Imodium. It's safe for long term use. It doesn't cause tolerance in general, and I'd say most physicians would let you take it regularly even during pregnancy if you need it. (There isn't enough knowledge to say it's safe during pregnancy with 100% guarantee but the only thorough study that has been done says it's ok to use it, and in fact even the doctor at "socialstyrelsen" which is the Swedish national department that monitors drug safety, health et.c. there is no risk using it during pregnancy.) So don't worry about it. Of course you should try to always take the minimum dose that keeps your symptoms under control but that pretty much goes without saying. Chances are, if you use it you will feel much better and then you'll feel less anxiety and stress which will probably lead to calming the IBS down even more.
