For Diarrhea "If Imodium doesn’t work for you, then you might have Bile Acid Diarrhea (BAM). So you need Cholestrymine. It’s horrible, first month makes things worse, then bam, you're all good. As far as Imodium, you have to take two, and then after the next poop, take another one, and this will completely stop you up."

For Diarrhea "I have had IBS-D most of my life. Until Imodium came along, I had to stay home... I use the Imodium Multi-Symptom more often than the Imodium A-D for one specific reason - the ease of accessing the pill. The packaging for the A-D is absolutely, beyond a doubt, one of the dumbest ever conceived! Definitely not something you can have handy in your purse or wallet. You'd never be able to get to it in an emergency. You have to use scissors to cut the tiny pill out! But, with the Imodium Multi-Symptom, you simply bend the corner at the perforation, pull the paper back, and access the pill. It is a larger pill, so for people who have difficulty swallowing, you may want to buy a small bottle of Imodium - no individual packages to mess with."

For Diarrhea, Chronic "I have Crohn's and so have chronic diarrhea. I used to be able to afford this med. Now, it is impossible. As for packaging... it is always important to make the product so hard to get out of the packaging. I end up tossing it anyway because so many pills have been damaged just trying to get them out of the packaging. So, I spend 20 minutes cutting them out and putting them into an old bottle to make them easier to access. So tired of being treated like crud because I need the meds others abuse. On top of that, I can't buy online anymore. I am not able to get out most days due to my condition. I used to be able to have it sent to the house, now even that is impossible."

For Diarrhea, Chronic "I have used this over-the-counter medication for many years. I have IBS, and I find this Imodium A-D works to stop my diarrhea. It might be a good idea to take it with you wherever you go for emergencies. If you have IBS, you should talk with your doctor about diet."

For Diarrhea "Used Imodium for many years. Very happy with it. Don't depend on anything else. If it wasn't for Imodium, I would not be able to leave the house. Very hard to open to get pill out. Wish you could make it a little easier. Have to use scissors to get pill out. Please improve it."

For Traveler's Diarrhea "I just got back from Mexico 12/07/19 and would not have been able to board the plane if it were not for Imodium A-D. It absolutely saved my ass! I do not understand these complaints about packaging, though, it's quite simple, peel back paper cover and pop the thing through. The packaging matters very little to me considering I would still be in Mexico if it were not for this medication. THANK YOU!!! from the bottom of my bowels."

For Diarrhea "I was tapering off of both MS Contin and Percocet and developed diarrhea. I started taking Imodium and started itching and a rash. It did help the diarrhea, but I am one of the people that had a reaction to this medication, unfortunately. I also had cramping and sweating, as well as lightheadedness."

For Diarrhea, Acute "I left Florida for a trip to Budapest, Hungary, with an acute case of diarrhea that threatened to spoil the expensive day trips I had paid for. An apothecary recommended I take Lopedium brand capsules (only available in a few countries, not the USA). After taking just two capsules and as needed for the remainder of the trip, with no side effects. Imodium A-D is the US equivalent, I understand."

For Diarrhea "I used to get diarrhea with my panic attacks, and Imodium A.D. made it possible for me to still travel. It works almost instantly, it stops the got-to-go feeling instantaneously."

For Diarrhea, Acute "The one and only time this medication didn't work occurred when I had an infection in my intestinal tract, which necessitated treatment with antibiotics. Otherwise, it always works."

For Diarrhea "The new packing is impossible to open. I cannot open the packet. Did you ever hear "if it a'int broke don't fix it"? Why did you change? I like the product now I need to find a new one."
