    I couldn't go out the house before and was living off immodium but I haven't had to take any since starting.this medication. Because it has to be dissolved in water it is a pain to take when I'm out but otherwise it works ok. Still not perfect but much better!

    Very difficult to take, even mixed with applesauce. I find that fixing the applesauce earlier than needed, and then frigerating for awhile, helps it to go down better.
