Perhaps try to cut out the gluten for a few days? If that's all you've eaten for 3 days (toast/bics) and still aggravating the guts, it could be making you worse.

Don't worry about the Loperamide. I have been taking them pretty much every day for 10years. They are the only thing that works for my persistent IBSd. Hopefully this is just a temporary thing for you.

Thanks all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, maybe, cos I ran out of my daily Aptimel?? I just forgot to buy!!! Also,,, it was maybe the gorgeous chip cob at the pub? but am usually o.k. with chips!!, never say 'usually' eh!!! Feel lucky this id first bad episode for approx. 8 months, n I usually get awful spasms as well, but only got them first off after chips, while driving home,,,, eeeekkk,.

P.S. forgot to say,,, Green tea seems to soothe my tum!!
