Taking Imodium every day

Can you take Imodium everyday for ibs?

Hello,

Yes, you can take imodium every day for IBS; however, there is a maximum of 8 mg per day.

An alternative to imodium is the prescription medication Viberzi. You must have a gallbladder to be able to take that, but it is specifically for IBS with diarrhea.

Thank you I find if take the Imodium just one it can constipate and lots of gas. Also do you know of a good probiotic.

Probiotics are not in any recommended guidelines for managing IBS.

My own personal experience is that Visbiome helps me when I have a looser stool.

Thank you for the info. Are you familiar with Fodzyme been looking into it. Any thoughts? Thank you

Hello II posted a message yesterday if you were familiar with a product called Fodzyme was thinking about trying it.Do you have any thoughts on it? Thank you

Yes, I know Fodzyme very well. It provides enzymes to help digest several FODMAP sugars. If you use the search box in the top right for Fodzyme you can find all the topics about it.

We also list a discount in the Products We Love category for Fodzyme.

Hello Jeffery thank you for responding to my post. I did try the Fodzyme I don’t think it agrees with me. Or perhaps Iam not using corrrctly. You did mention that have use a probiotic called Visbiome you had success with. Did you have an adjustment period. Thank you for your help

I'm sorry the fodzyme didn't work for you. I have never tried it myself, but have seen others use by sprinkling it on the foods high in fructans, lactose or onions and garlic.

I use Visbiome daily. Yes, there can be bloating for the first few days when starting it from scratch. Afterwards, I don't have any side effects.
