worrying about my course next week

Voctoria,
Has any doc ever told you not to take Imodium? If they haven't then I would take it for preventative measures. I do it anytime I have something where I cannot afford to spend time in the bathroom. It works great! Along with preventing the D, I think it also settles your mind knowing you took something for the D, which in turn settles your GI tract. I love it and NEVER leave home without it.
Good luck with your classes!!!

Victoria,

That's a good idea to carry Imodium with you.  You definitely don't want to take some every day of your courses... but maybe on days you are feeling extra nervous or are already having problems.  You might also think about taking only a fraction of the dosage.  Taking 2 of those pills will stop you up for days.  When I take Imodium for preventative purposes I only take 1/2 of 1 pill.  If I take it to stop the D I already have, I take 1 entire pill.  Only if my D is incredibly bad will I take the full 2 pill dose (but that's only after I see the first pill didn't fix the "problem").

Watch out because the Imodium can cause C.
