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.
