Imbruvica and BM issues

[goooz]

Imbruvica 280mg. Hello, Gooz here again, Started this med a few days ago. I was told loose stool is a very common and to take Imodium (4 max daily) to help control this issue. My NP says it should subside in time. Does it? I'm 72 and I like being out and about without always being worried about nasty BM's. Thank you for any feedback. Best luck to all of us! Gooz

Hang in there Goooz and this too shall pass😐. You could try eating more foods that add bulk to your stools. Soluble fiber foods like Legumes, sweet potatoes, peas, berries etc might help. Best wishes for you!

Hello, my PC said take Metamucil which I have twice a day for almost five years. It adds bulk and works well. Now I use it maybe twice a week if it goes to ‘water’. Good luck.

OK...Thank you, another option/idea. Luck to all of us.

You could find benefit with Imodium pill --just let your Dr. know you need help and ask if that is appropriate for you.

Good advice. Always ask the Dr. first. Thanks, Gooz
