Did you call your doctor? Did they say it was just a side-effect from the steroids? If you don't think you have a virus, I'd give the Imodium a shot. As a former D, I can tell you that if it's bad enough, you will not stay blocked up for long. There were days when I would take 15 Imodium and still had multiple BMs. If you don't normally take Imodium (duh, you're a C, I guess you wouldn't), start out with one or two and gradually work your way up if it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Do you take any antispasmodics? I also always took antispasmodics at the max dose on a clockwork basis -- i.e. I took a Levsin exactly every four hours. That helped a lot to calm my stomach down.
I hope you get feeling better, Michele -- if you're still feeling crappy this weekend, just don't eat anything at any of the events. Being rude is better than the potential alternative.
