I ask what to take for D and cramps when it is that time of the month and I was told to take Mitol (caffine-free) and Immodium. My question is if I take the Mitol right away (before I get the cramps and D) will I have to take the Immodium as well? I would rather not take immodium unless I really need it. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm not sure, because it's been probably 15 years since I've used Midol. If it were me, though, I'd take the Midol right away, and then wait and see if you even need the imodium. You might not need both... unless you already have the D, in which case a single imodium might be helpful, because I know Midol doesn't have anything in it for D. Fun being female, ain't it?

That's what I was thinking of doing. Thanks. I know right, it's so much fun to be a female.

My boyfriend, thank goodness, is always really understanding of the whole IBS thing, but when I have my period, he's REALLY like, "I have no idea how you go through this every month and don't go crazy." LOL! At least he's appreciative of that fact. Some months, I don't know how I do it either!
Good luck with the Midol... I stopped using it all those years ago because it did nothing for my cramps... but most of my friends swore by it, so hopefully it'll work good for ya.

I hear ya about the whole ibs and period thing. It is the worst! Sometimes I find it unbearing. I just want to call in to work and lay down all day, I wish I could. Thanks, I hope it works too.
