For Diarrhea, Chronic "I have IBS (both D & C). Lately, mostly D. I've tried a few different medications, and they wind up causing the constipation. Tonight, I started Loperamide 2 mg capsules (prescription strength). I took the 2 that you're supposed to take for the first dose. So far, it's been about 3 hours, and I'm okay, I think. I have a little stomach ache, but not like cramping. Hopefully, that's it for the D, and this medication will be good for me."

Loperamide for Diarrhea, Acute "I presumably caught the stomach bug going around my workplace and had severe diarrhea all day with stomach cramps, which started as soon as I woke up one morning. About 5:30 p.m. I took an Imodium after a rough day, and it stopped the diarrhea completely. I was very pleased and shocked at how well it worked after just 2 tablets. Hopefully, it wouldn't have lasted much longer anyway! Haha!"

Loperamide for Diarrhea "Loperamide is very helpful for diarrhea within 4 (or fewer) caplets. It helps with the stomach cramping too. It was also helpful for when I had the stomach flu."
