It made me kind of constipated. Now I only use when absolutely necessary.
Somewhat Helpful
when nessasary
Somewhat Helpful
It isn't 100% full proof, and I would rather take something that will help prior to getting sick.
Somewhat Helpful
Imodium works great if I absolutely cannot have an attack somewhere. Unfortuantely, since I'm IBS-C, it makes me even more constipated.
Somewhat Helpful
I have to take 2 of these before anything important to ensure I don't have one of my "stomach attacks" as I call them (colon spams).
Somewhat Helpful
Not always effective. Not fast enough.
Somewhat Helpful
Stops diarrhoea immediately but causes constipation
Somewhat Helpful
in the very short term but does produce bloating and mild pain
