balletpt Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I have IBS-D. As I have hit 58, it is now really crazy. If I don't take immodium, I have to go 5-6 times in the morning. Sometimes I have to take 3-4 immodium. That is my doctor's solution citrucel at night and immodium in the morning. The problem with taking all that immodium is that the next day I am stuck, then the day after this I have the diarrhea again. I have begged her for help, since today I missed work. The immodium can stop it between 1-2 hours, but I still have several hours of lower abdominal pain after that. She says there is something else, but it is tricky, since I have to take it 2 hours before any other medication. Well fine. I am not a moron, I have been a physical therapist for over 35 years. I can figure it out. She just keeps talking over me. I went through a colonoscopy and blood work to get this much information. Really? I could have figured that much out. I finally called the Thomas Jefferson GI center in Philadelphia, since I live near there, but I have to wait until the end of July for an appointment. I am about ready to cry.
