Before I had my colostomy surgery I took loperamide (equivalent to Imodium) daily. If you have pretty much constant problems with D that's ok. The important thing here is not to take so much that your bowels almost stop moving. There's no way of telling you how much you can tolerate or how much you need. This is something you have to try out for yourself.

When you've tried diet and stress reduction and things like that there is certainly no harm in your taking Imodium daily if that helps you. Though you should of course discuss it with your doctor. Getting a prescription is also in general cheaper than buying it over the counter.
