I did start taking one Imodium everyday until just recently. It makes me very C! Everytime I eat, I have an attack and nothing comes out, like it usually does! Just immediate nausea, cramps and big time BLOAT and GAS!!! I haven't taken any Imodium in about 3 weeks and I don't have D right now, at all....it's the other way around, at the moment. I'm hoping once the Imodium gets completely out of my system that it will start running again. Otherwise, I'm going to have major problems with C.

Hi Michelle, Say, have you tried taking your Levsin regularly,
like three times a day instead of as needed, that might help
to stabilize you. Also, it sounds like you're an A not D.Have
you ever had C before? -Bob

Yea, I am taking my Levsin regularly, now and yes, I am now C, Big Time! I have ALWAYS been IBS-D but for the past 3 weeks I have been VERY C!!! It's unusual for me. So, maybe the Remeron that the doc put me on is making me C....
I don't know. I have a colonoscopy and endoscopy next week. So, we'll see! Maybe I am IBS-A, now.

I know, I'm a chocoholic and it really causes me to have major IBS problems! I had to stop eating it in Aug because I became too unstable. I eat a little piece every now and then because I cannot stay away from it and I pay for it every time!

I find a good SFS - and a decent sized dose of that - crucial to managing IBS-A. I take 2T of Acacia daily and am considering going to 3T.
Btw, if you go through another bad D patch, try taking just half or a quarter of an Immodium tablet every other day.

Yes, that is a common side effect of Remeron, and Levsin too!
The two in combo could be the problem. -Bob

I was on Remeron in the Navy for two years before I even had IBS and it made me seriously C! But, I would just pop a couple of fiber choice and I would be fine. Now that I have IBS, it's really bad! I am trying to have an attack right now and I keep popping antacids trying to keep the acid down because I have gas really bad and if I get nauseated then my gut will start cramping up......The tea isn't working for me this time around.

That was the first and only thing my doctor prescribed for me to take. I take it once in a while when I'm experiencing bloating and gas and I am not in the comforts of my own home. For instance when I go out for dinner or to a friend's house. I'm like you where I do not like to take meds, so I use this as a last resort to help relieve my symptons. I have to place it under my tongue and let it gradually dissolve.
Hope it helps for you....

Oh God. I was prescribed that crap last January. Every time I took it for a spasm, it WORSENED it. That stuff is aweful. I would throw it out and call the Doc a Quack. But that's just me. If it works for you, then... well... I guess it works. Or something. Yeah.
