I have that chronic crap no pun intended and I have been taking the imoduim for a long long time, like many many months. I have had 20 plus belly surgeries and the more belly surgeries the worse things get for me. I am hoping when I see my GI doc the 4th of Aug they will agree to do a colostomy. Good luck to you.
It may take up to 48 hours before your symptoms improve. Keep using the medication as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 10 days of treatment.
But what if the symptoms do improve as long as one keeps taking Imodium? Can Imodium be taken indefinitely? Twice a day? Once a day? There is no information about this anywhere.
