For Traveler's Diarrhea "My wife got traveler's diarrhea on a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. After a few trips to the WC, she took a first does of "lomotil" brand name in Mexico for loperamide. That stopped the flow. Three days later it was my turn. Since we already had the box of medicine, I only waited for a second WC trip (just to make sure the first was not just a one-off), took the first (two pill) dose and that stopped it. It works! It does not cure it. We both continued with watery stools after that, and I guess there is a difference between slowing down the gut and restoring its health."

For Diarrhea, Chronic "Ok, my last review. To be completely fair, I have seen a doctor and there is nothing to do right now. More tests. So I am taking Loperamide daily now, and a gel Simethicone. Take caution at first. It can make you constipated very easily. The box recommends taking way too much! I am taking the lowest dose possible. Opiate tolerance is real. After 1 week, I had to double the dose to 2 mg. It is working the same now. It should level off. I have read white papers about people taking Loperamide for 500+ days daily. It seems to be safe if you don't take a large dose. Everyone is different, and I am desperate. I don't want another fissure! The pharmacist didn't know anything more than the back of the box. 1-3 days of tummy trouble. I would prefer Bismuth Silicate. Again, I can't take drugs that coat your insides because I take Diazepam for PTSD. The reason I don't sleep/digest and have bowel issues. Loperamide is good. Dose varies per person, start low. They act quickly. Opiate tolerance is real."
