Curious About Immodium

[Ally2005]

I was just curious how often the Immodium users take it. I have to take it every couple of days (gluten-free for 3.5 months.

I haven't taken it once since going gluten-free but I keep finding it stashed in various places, old purses, suitcases, wallets, etc etc etc. It cracks me up every time I uncover another stash! That and anti-gas pills....

I've never taken it.

If constipation is a problem, consider adding a magnesium supplement - or evaluating if you're taking too much calicum without enough magnesium with it.

I also have never taken it(to my knowledge..I might have when I was younger and just don't remember)

Hopefully I will never need to but if I need a product I have heard people on here really love Immodium so I'll take it if I need it

I know there are several forms of Immodium (tablets, instantly dissolving tablets, liquid, etc.), so are all forms of Immodium gluten-free? I take Pepto Bismol now, as I know their liquid is gluten-free, but Immodium works better for me, so if anyone knows which forms are gluten-free, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I use the immodium caplets and they are gluten-free. I really don't take them on a regular basis, but certainly take them when I'm going to be somewhere that doesn't have a bathroom close by. Like probably tomorrow when we are going to be doing obedience and dog agility demos in a Castlegar park.

At home I pretty much let the problem run it's course unless the cramps get out of hand. I've never had a constipation problem, even when I take immodium, so don't know what that would be like. Immodium just assures me that I will have time to get to a bathroom when needed.

When I was newly diagnosed, I often took them twice a day. My doc told me they were not habit forming and to take them according to the directions on the package for as long as I needed. I didn't need them too long, but I too have bottles and packets in old pocketbooks and cabinets!! haha

I took 1/4 dose of Immodium each morning for 3 months to keep things "normal". It worked well and is gluten-free!
