Hey Ashley,
I'll often take the Immodium advanced in the mornings if my stomach is feeling kinda unsettled and I have to fly. I take the chewable tablets. I'll usually take one fairly early in the morning if it seems I'm feeling a little off. That way (my thinking at least) is that I don't get totally clogged up. Honestly, for the first little while I find my gas actually gets worse, but then things start to settle down and it's not too bad. If I'm still not feeling great I'll take another one or two more depending on how long the flight will be and that'll usually do the trick.
I wouldn't take it strictly for gas, the side effect, especially the first few times I took it was that I became very C the next couple of days, and then when things were wearing off I found I got even more gassy. But if it looks like you're going to have D, I've been very happy with the Immodium Advanced.
And I do buy the real thing not the store brand, ya it costs more but I'm not able to take any chances.
