Gooz here. Hello folks, I'm on my 2nd day of Imbruvica (280mg). Yesterday everything fine with the BM's, today was another story: very loose, very soft and very often. So my question is, how long will this problem last? Days, weeks, months or forever? Should I buy stock on Charmin? I am taking my 3rd pill in 10 minutes....oh boy! Thank you in advance for your input. Gooz

Hello I’ve been on Ibrutinib for about 6 weeks and after a couple of weeks the loose stools do lessen if not stop. Wishing you all the best

As MsLockYourPosts has replied earlier and per GP advice to the admins and volunteers, encouraging self treatment for undiagnosed diarrhoea is manifestly unwise. It could be a warning about something needing attention that you don't want to mask.

While the product that you found helped you may be a marvelous asset to those with loose stools, troublesome diarrhoea always needs a timely diagnosis from your doctor or perhaps specialist if you are under treatment. I was recently reminded of this while in hospital. My doctor informed me that any more than 4 watery motions per day needed investigation.

I note that you have elsewhere mentioned about this product and were warned by my coadmin Newdawn that "We can’t endorse particularly products", which, along with the above is why your product references above have been deleted, along with your post illustrated by the product photo, which clearly showed that the product should only be taken with medical supervision.

Please don't self medicate without talking too your doctor! It could be dangerous to assume that your diarrhea has one cause, when in fact it is something else that needs specific treatment. Top of the list would be C-diff. Not something to mess around with on your own!
