Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Immodium ... it makes a plug

For anyone taking immodium and are confusing and upset about being C and then for the next little while D remember that immodium blocks you up. It basically builds a plug and then after that if you think that you have taken immodium and can be a little indulgent in your diet sorry it really doesn't seem to work that way. It does exactly what it's supposed too and that's stop D but remember it wears off and then it's back to normal. It's an aid not a solution.

A lot of us don't know this fact and think that we are having something funny with our IBS when this is what happens after your immodium wears off. It took me years to find this out and I would take more immodium thinking I need to cause here again I was having C. If you don't need to take it after you have used it and started to have D again try not too and you'll see that it can be a vicious cycle sometimes.

Though I also I sing the praises for it too cause it really helps with D especially if it's bad and you need to go to out or work. So with those few does after taking immodium and you don't have a bowel movement don't go crazy in your diet.

I hope I worded this ok.
