Anyone eating Imodium like pez to get control of watery/oily bowel movements? I consume 4 to 6 daily and am never constipated. I’ve had a colonoscopy, dr says nothing wrong at that end. Let’s run more test that cost more money. I said no and started taking Imodium then.

Let me know if you want me to pm you with some tips about IBS in general so you don't need to consume so much imodium.
Hello - years ago I needed to take probably 6 to 8 Immodium per day to get thru the work day (and I did this for years). Then I started taking a probiotic and taking note of which food caused problems. It has been more than 10 yrs+ since I have taken an immodium. Try finding a probiotic - even lactose free yogurt - and seem if that is enough to change the gut flora in your stomach. Also try and find some form of meditation or relaxation - its often the mind that controls the gut - even 10minutes a day will help. Best of luck.
Does this happen a short while after you have eaten? Especially anything fatty? If so, consider Bile Acid Malabsorption. It is relatively common, is rarely considered by doctors, but can be improved by taking a sequestrant such as Colestepol (UK).
Just introduce sauerkraut and kimchi into your diet. And anything pickled, marinated or fermented. Keep off fresh fruit and vegetables for a couple of weeks and see what happens. My stool is always well formed now after 42 years of uncontrollable diarrhoea. Buona fortuna. Bx
Archway Coconut Macaroon Cookies. I don't know why, but they help.
Had diarrhea most of my life have used Imodium since it came out. Started Metamucil a few months ago. Not a cure but has helped a lot. Down to 1 Imodium most days or none.
i take 12-18 in days I need to go out 😔
