"I had loose, almost diarrhea stools for almost three months after a trip to Florida. I began to seriously worry, so before going to a doctor, I took a dose (2 pills) of Imodium. I returned to normal in 2 days and have had no problem since. One dose fixed a 3-month long problem! Read the directions. It said to take a second dose after a second event of loose stools. I might have taken another dose that night after the first if I had read the instructions carefully. I suspect some of the reviewers who had stomach pains might have done that, because I had NO discomfort. Just an almost miraculous immediate return to normal movements. Thank you, makers!"
