Hi Sandy,
Yes and no. If you feel the rumblings coming on, take it immediately. It's always helped me.
However, if you're in the middle of a D attack, I don't think it's gonna help much; it's too late. For example, the other day in the fabric store I had a very sudden, unexpected D attack INSTANTLY! WOW, I had to RUN! I barely made it to the bathroom in time. It hit again just a few minutes later. While sitting on the pot, I reached for my meds in my "medicine cabinet" in my purse, only to discover I was out of Lomotil and Immodium. All I had was the Equalactin. I took one, but it was too late. I made it from the fabric store down to the lake where (thankfully) there was a public bathroom and I had my third attack. Then I was able to make it all the way back home. I doubt that the Equalactin helped much -- but who knows?
Why didn't you want to go to the bathroom at the hair salon? Their bathrooms are usually pretty clean, especially since customers need to use them -- all people who get manicures for instance. I've gone at my hair salon many times.
I don't take Equalactin regularly, just "as needed" -- for a "security blanket," when I anticipate a stressful social event coming up or whenever I feel rumblings down below... It's real convenient; like I said, I was sitting on the pot at the fabric store, and just reached in my purse, grabbed a tablet and chewed it up right on the pot!
I know what you mean about thinking it's all in your mind. To some extent, it really is. Your conscious mind is telling your subconscious negative messages, like "OMG, what if I have to go the bathroom!?" So pretty soon your subconscious gets the message loud and clear, and guess what? You have to poop.
Have you considered Michael's hypnotherapy? I think it would help you. No, I KNOW it would help you. It sure helped me! There was a time when I couldn't leave the confines of this tiny condo, not even to go out for a walk! And now look at me. Okay, so sometimes I get those rumblings. That's when I turn to the Equalactin. I'm on the road, driving down to the new property, and my mind starts remembering the old panic attacks, and pretty soon my subconscious gets the message, and guess what .... rumblings. I pull off the road, reach for that little emergency "medicine cabinet" in my purse, grab an Equalactin, chew it up, and in seconds I'm fine. This has happened to me numerous times, and Equalactin has worked for me each and every one of them.
I should get a commission from the manufacturer of this stuff.....
