Coedine phosphate and IBS-d
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I suffer quite bad from ibs-d, every day i get flare ups and im constantly on the toilet so i used to take imodium everyday but it tends to clog me up for the next day.
However, my grandma was prescribed coedine phosphate for her ibs but it dint work so i decided to try it and it helps!! its a painkiller so it helps with the cramps and i havent been to the toilet half as much, i decided to take on in the morning because this is when i am at my worst and iv managed to go the whole day at work without a single stomach cramp!!
Im sure its only prescription but if u r really suffering its worth givingit a try!
Hope this helps!!
