Okay, I'm starting to stabilise on the diet and I'm getting better at sticking to it. So I'm starting to think about my meds... I am on sooo many pills, it's just ridiculous! My docs have been giving me more and more meds since I was diagnosed, trying to control every symptom and cover all the bases.
Currently, I'm supposed to have...
1. Immodium (Loperamide) once a day.
2. Lansoprazole for heartburn once a day.
3. Spasmonal (Alverine citrate) 3 times a day as an anti-spasmodic.
4. Colpermin (Peppermint oil) 3 times a day as another anti-spasmodic.
5. Citalopram for depression.
6. Fybogel, a fibre supplement, 2 times a day.
I also take 1 multivitamin and up to 3 probiotic pills a day.
This adds up to 13 pills and 2 supplements a day, which seems insane! Although, I'm not taking the Colpermin (Peppermint) atm as I've had problems with it.
Does anyone have any ideas about stuff I could possibly cut back on (with my doc's approval of course). I can't stop taking the Citalopram, and I'd hate the idea of not taking the Lansoprazole and Loperamide as they've been life changing. But 13 pills is nuts!

Too many meds?
