Hi yes I’ve used silicol gel. I thought I’d found the perfect remedy. It worked for a few weeks then it’s like my body got used to it & then the D started again!! Tbh I found it very expensive but thought it was worth a go. I’ve read on this forum that enterosogel is good. I bought this by I couldn’t keep it down at the time I took it due to a swallowing problem I have. It seemed to be very similar consistency to silicol. Good luck. Let us know how you get on with it!!

Hello, I have tried the silicol gel which was wonderful for 4 weeks and then for some reason it wore off and I was back to my usual IBS-d. Tried lots of other medication on the market but the only thing that worked for me, after suffering for 2 years and having every test, colonoscopy etc, was the anti-depressant, Amitriptyline 10mgs - prescribed for anxiety in my stomach and not depression. Good luck on finding something that works for you.

did the Amitriptyline make you very drowsy and spaced out at first?

Have your doctor prescribe any of these 3 meds for you: Welchol, Colestipol, and/or Questran. These are wonder drugs to stop diarrhea in its tracks. I don't know about your other symptoms, but I had chronic diarrhea for years and years and I now take 6 tablets of Colestipol per day....I now have my life back!
