"I have had chronic diarrhea for 20 years. I could not eat without experiencing diarrhea, had accidents in public places. The first thing I did when entering a new building was locate the restroom. I frequently had to leave my classroom unattended to run—no running would have been disastrous—carefully walk to the nearest restroom and have embarrassingly flatulent and explosive bouts of diarrhea. I finally started self-medicating, taking one tablet in the morning and one before supper. I have two normal bowel motions a day. No more diarrhea now. My life has changed!"

"This medication has worked great for my IBS-D. I’ve had IBS-D for 15 years, and nothing has helped me until I started taking 1 Imodium per day in the morning after the first BM. I used to have to go to the bathroom 3-5 times every morning. Now I go once most days, sometimes twice. This drug works on the opioid receptors in the gut and causes gut motility to slow. It has really worked for me and has changed my life for the better. I actually have a life now and don’t have to worry about where the bathroom is all the time. Good luck everyone!"

"Worst packaging ever! Who would design packaging that requires scissors to access each pill? Every time, which is often, I need to take the pills, I end up frustrated with bleeding fingers! Why can't someone design a small bottle with pills inside it like most meds? And do not suggest I drink the disgusting liquid. Very frustrated user!"

"I have IBS plus I'm lactose intolerant and have struggled with this for 5 years now. For 3 years, I was unable to enjoy a meal because as soon as I ate, I was in the bathroom. When I take Imodium now for the past 2 years, I can actually eat meals and it won't bother my stomach. I feel normal and go to the bathroom normally, but if I miss a day and don't take the pills, I am back to going to the bathroom after every meal. Imodium has really helped me, especially when it triggers in the morning, so it helps me to be able to go to work at 5 am. There are some days I didn't have pills and could not go into work because I could not stop using the bathroom. I love Imodium!"

"My sister and I both have ongoing diarrhea. Every single day. 1-2 times a day for me, but more for her. All females in our family have it. It’s our family curse. But we took 2 of these pills for only two days, and we didn’t have any intestinal activity for the next five days. From taking two tablets for two days (so we took only 4 mg each day, once a day, for only two days), we took that tiny, small amount and didn’t have even a slight cramp, not even a bubble in our intestine, nothing for five days. This never happens, and we both were somewhat constipated still even on day 5. I don't know how anyone is saying it didn’t work. It definitely worked for us, at least."

"I tried Imodium after having prolonged chronic diarrhea over months as a result of anxiety. This cleared it up overnight with the use of 2 tablets. I have finally found relief using this product, highly recommend."

"I had 18' of my large intestines removed a year ago. I still had diarrhea bad. I took Imodium and was so happy I feel normal. Something I can't drink is beer. That is ok with me. I only take it every other day. I am a happy camper."

"I have IBS and had a bad flare-up. Four weeks of tests and constant diarrhea, they finally confirmed there was no infection, so allowed me to take Imodium. I chose the plus comfort as I also have stomach pains. Followed instructions and took 2. I don't mean to be crude, but I am elated to say that the next day I managed a normal BM for the first time in a month! Not noticed any help with the stomach pains or bloating, but has definitely helped the flare-up!"

"Have been taking Imodium daily for several years, and I am grateful it exists. Without it, I could not function as my IBS can interfere with daily routines - like driving to work. I learned only this year how important it is to stay well hydrated while on this drug. It is critical to drink lots! I often take extra care on hot days by taking something to keep the electrolytes up - (e.g., Hydrolyte)."

"This product seems to take longer than it should to quell my symptoms. Since I am (REALLY) allergic to mint and since the caplets are mint-flavored I'm thinking that's the reason. Mint isn't the only flavoring that could be used."

"I felt better about 3 hours after taking 2 tablets. Still have a slight problem, though, but will be taking one more twice a day, and I expect to feel much better then."
