Hello,

This is kinda off topic.  I don't think I am going my d'rea is from my UC.  I am not having UC systems or anything like that.  I am wondering what you use to control it. I know there are products out there, imodien, etc..however I talk to a pharmacy, they don't recommend it.   could start my UC and makes things worse.  I can't ask a doctor or specialist.   I am away at school and don't have  either doctor here.  The closest I could get is a walk-in clinic and well honestly I think the doctors there seriously got their license out of a cracker jack box. 

Any suggestions.  Thanks.

Just to make sure I'm understanding things correctly, you're having diarrhea, but you don't think it's due to your UC? Why?

If it really isn't due to UC, it's probably because of a stomach virus or food poisoning. In both cases, it really is recommended that you just let it run its course rather than trying to stop it.

It is the last two weeks of school.  I think it is just nerves and stress.  What I mean is that I don't think it is my UC. I am not having any other d'rea systems that come along with UC.  No blood, mucus, etc.

Immodium is fine to use- My GI approves of it- if it can work for you great-
try it for a few days- I know when my daughter is flaring it will only hold her for about 4 hours
versus if she is not flaring and I use it, it can hold her for the day!
