IBS Diarrhoea
Hi Just wondered if other people have experienced the same as me, I have had diarrhoea for over 5 weeks now and gone through 5 boxes of Imodium and severe stomach pain with several trips to the hospital in the last month. I have not been able to work in the last month and have no idea what to eat

Imodium
Hello, does anyone find it helpful to take Imodium to prevent diarrhoea if going out? Or would you recommend taking anything else as a preventative?

Diazepam Stomach Cramps
I’ve had numerous attempts at getting off Diazepam with sometimes a couple of years clean . Anyway this year I started taking them again. I had gone up to 40mg a day. I had considered that a low amount , one of my episodes I was taking a lot more than that. At 40mg I started a very slow taper dropping

loperamide
my doctor has advised I take this daily but I’m worried they will lose their effect over time and stop working. Does anyone else take Imodium daily and if so has this happened?

Hypothyroid - Vit & iron levels
Hello, As recommended by this brilliant group, I have had my vitamin and iron levels tested through medichecks. My results have come back all in range, thankfully, but I know that sometimes ‘normal’ or ‘in range’ isn’t optimum. Would someone be able to look at these please and let me know any thoughts
