Been A While Since I've Posted Just Wondered About Imodium...

Since I last post, there hasn't been a lot done from the hospital side of things have been waiting for an appointment with a consultant. That was the 11th June and the problems had been happening for a while then.
It's now going on 8 weeks since I've been cooped up in my house and every time I get in the car my panic attacks and anxiety goes through the roof as my bowels become uncontrollably active.

This appointment I've been waiting for is tomorrow and it's a half an hour drive to it, I am bricking it and have been trying even harder to get out the house and today I ended up in the much of a state I passed out.
I emailed my IBD Nurse the other day and yet again I have had no answer from her, I want to take Imodium to help with it all, I haven't taken it in over 18 months and I just want to get everything sorted but I've been told not to take it.

What is everyone's experience with it? I am currently on Octasa and Azathioprine if that would effect it at all?

Thanks x

if you are currently having a lot of BMs the immodium could backfire on you a bit after you take it and cause explosive BMs that you cannot control
maybe just eat very little before the appointment and than wear a diaper in the car and have a change or two handy
if the uncontrollable BMs are because of the anxiety of having an accident (ive experienced those) maybe take an anti anxiety like ativan and have someone drive you to the appointment (or uber)
good luck

I take immodium every day, sometimes as many as 8-10 in 24 hours, never fewer than 3. I asked my doctor if this was okay and he said yes.

Of course, I take all of my IBD drugs too, but they don't relieve the urgency or frequency problems at all.

Take it

Just dont take 8-10 or even three

One should do the trick
