D* and cramps question - not sv related

[peachykeen]

My youngest child (almost one year old) has had some health issues
in the last two months (unexplained seizure activity) and had to have
some tests done early this morning. I've been a bundle of nerves
the last few days leading up to this, and I hardly slept at all last
night. We had to get up at 4 am this morning, and when I woke my
stomach felt "off". I went potty and had some mild d* - totally from
nerves, I'm 100% sure. Knowing that I was going to be at the
hospital for the tests I took some Immodium, as I didn't want to be
struck with the urge to go in the middle of something important.
Now, it's been 12 hours since I've taken it, and I've got stomach
cramps - not ill feeling cramps, but almost like really bad gas pains.
I took two doses of immodium - one chewable, the second capsule.
Has anyone else had an anti-d* give you gas-like pains in the hours
after you took it? I'm not worried that I'm coming down with
something, more curious than anything.

I take Imodium a lot for my d* and cramps, but I only take a half of a capsule if it's only mooshy poop. If it's complete water, then I take two. You have to be careful with that stuff b/c if you don't have bad d* then you can get seriously constipated. To me, those pains are worse than d* pains. Anyway, yes I get gas pains/gas from Imodium. I don't know why, but it will go away soon.[img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

Hey Peachy...I do get those awful stomach pains if I take too much Imodium. It makes it where the poop sort of backs up and doesn't come out and chances are, you did not need it, so I am like you and I take it so I won't be in a bad place/time to need to go and not be able to. Anyway, I wish I could tell you more of what to do for it, but I end up (sorry to be gross) farting a lot and since you probably won't poop for a day or so, that is your only real relief. Make sure you get a lot of liquids too since it hardens everything up, it sort of absorbs your liquids. That may help too.


Hope all the tests went well.

yeah I was always advised to take something like GasX with it so I always have, I guess it helps since I've never experienced such things
