Trying loperamide (generic name for Imodium) to help with IBS. When I have to poop frequently and it always feels like there’s more in there, it can ruin my day. So I finally went out and got some of this stuff and it seems to help.
I suppose I have IBS - got tested for everything else and it all came back negative. Thankfully, I’m not celiac as I love bread. Got blood tests, ultrasound, colonoscopy (horrible to prep for that), everything seems OK. Doctor shrugged and told me, “it’s IBS I guess”.
Hoping to learn to manage it because I’m trying to get in shape. Not being able to eat because I feel disgusting is derailing me.
Happy pooping, everybody.
UPDATE: Thanks for all the discussion and suggestions! It’s eye-opening to see how common it is to have a shitty time shitting. You all are helping me feel less isolated and ashamed of my condition.
Everyone I know who has gotten a bidet became an evangelist for them, so there must be something to it!
Oh yea, also try the probiotic called Align. Most probiotics are bullshit but this one (Bifidobacterium 35624) has been developed for decades now to aide against IBS-D symptoms. I noticed improvements within days but the full effect takes about a month.
The only problem is your buttholes gonna become a diva and be mad as fuck when you poop away from home and have to wipe.
Get a bidet.
