Listen, you are suffering from poor digestion. You need to get more fibre into your guts, more fresh veg and some fruit. Forget the Immodium, it is a commercial product designed to make money, not make you better.
People who take drugs to help their digestion generally weaken the ability of their digestive system to deal with normal digestion. In other words, far from helping the problem, the problem gets worse.
The answer is simple, please follow what I said.
Good luck
Go to the doc - that's the best thing. It could be just the way you are, or it could mean there are issues you don't know about. Go to the doc and be honest with them.
I assume you are a "finicky" eater. Your problem smacks of lack of vegetables and fruit in your diet.
If you are eating properly, you will have normal poops.
haha, have u tried pokeing them with a stick?, like logs floating down the river?, well have u?
rock and roll
we feel for u
You're not supposed to take immodium after like 5 days or so
:O I don't know what happens, but thats what the box says (or something like that)
i have had a problem similar to this. try eating things with more fiber
Wow - honestly, I don't know. I've never personally had this problem before.
You should really go see a doctor - people on here don't have all the answers as your doctor might!
lmao at the "rabbit turd" part. sorry.
Imodium is for diarrhea. don't take it unless you have very loose stools. when you get your period, you do have stomach problems, which means cramps and diarrhea. it's normal. you don't need to take Imodium for it. eat more fiber, and if it REALLY hurts or bothers you, see a doctor.
You should see a doctor, you should not be taking immodium constantly, the doctor can assess you more appropriately. You could be addicted to the feeling of passing harder stools, which is more common than you would think.
It's not healthy to take Imodium for two years.
If the problem persists tell your mom and have her make an appointment with a Dr.
(You should be discussing this with your mom any ways, not the internet)
Imodium is not intended for long term use sweetie - I would increase your fiber intake (it'll make the stools harder and more compact) and take a multi vitamin to get yourself regular
stop taking the Imodium and start eating lots fruits and vegetables. Your stools are not supposed to be hard like rabbit turds, you are not a rabbit. Also, drink 8 glasses of water each day.
if you are finicky in eating and love to snack, eat handfulls of frosted wheat squares. They fill you up, have tons of fiber, and energy.and drink water with it. Lay off the $$ ! caffine . Eat more wisely. Pizza with meat is fine, but add veggies, onions ect. get your blood cleaned out by one 24 hour fast a month. I would have your doc check you with a full blood test. Im afraid after two years you could have damamged your kidneys. See your doc fast. i pray for ya. good luck
I have had similar experiences as yours and I suffer from IBS with constipation. You may have a IBS with diarrhea. I would see a doctor ASAP. I have been trying to get help for years and it takes alot of persistance to get a doctor to listen to you about these things. Most doctors just say that it is how your body works, but you should never be uncomfortable in your body. I hope you find some answers!! Good luck and Happy Holidays!!
