I would try Buscopan first, unless you think you are very constipated. I have IBS-M and try to avoid Imodium if I can as I find it stores up trouble for later (seem to be going through that problem right now!), but sometimes I’m stuck for options; but I’ve never used Movicol to reverse the effect as I find it corrects itself in time, and I don’t like the idea of going from one extreme to the other. But we’re all different and both these medications are unlikely to cause any real harm.

Not what you're looking for?
