Comment:
I have IBS with Diarrhea, and am almost house bound. Taking one Imodium AD 30 minutes before breakfast to help slow down bowel motility really helps. Most of the time it works, but I eat lots of fiber in the evening to help with the constipation it causes. Not perfect, but allows me to go out and do the things I need to do without worrying so much about sudden onsets of diarrhea.

Worked too well for me. Stopped the diarrhea but have now been constipated since using it 3 days ago. Traded one problem for another.

Comment:
Whenever I have had a bad case of diarrhea, I take two Immodium A-D's, and that's it! It's over, just like that, with no side effects. I wish other medicine worked as well as this one. For me, it's like a wonder drug.

This medication works very well initially but a few hours later, causes extreme upper abdominal pain, gas and very bad bloating.
