Ugh. One of IBSers worst nightmares. Usually I do quite well. 2 Imodium and I'm good. But this time I'm a little worried. I've been on antibiotics for the past week or so because of a cold and its totally screwed up my system. I usually take one Imodium a day but I stopped when I got the antibiotics so I didn't like mess myself up somehow...I know I'm paranoid. So today I skipped my antibiotic (I only have one left) partly so Imodium might work, and partly cause..I..dropped it in mop water. *cough* But anyways...yeah I'm a little nervous now cause I've had D for the past couple days. Not really painful just a little urgent. Hopefully taking two Imodium tonight will still work.

Darn relatives. Why must they live so far away?

You've been on antibiotics because of a cold!?

Ditto Nanobug's comment! Why in the world would ANYONE take antibiotics for a cold.... especially someone who has IBS-D?? If your doctor gives you antibiotics for a cold, I'd find another doctor!

Well more of a sinus infection than a cold...and its not my real doctor who prescribed it, I had to go to the urgent care center because my regular doctor isn't open on Saturdays, and the guy just walked in and prescribed it. *shrug*

PS-Wish me luck, I'm about to take Imodium and go to bed. Geez I hate this constant worry, it really takes over a person's life. *sigh*Happy Thanksgiving all! Not sure if the internet will work well where I'm going, so have a good holiday!

Well, hope everything went well. I am in a right state cause my in laws live 2 hours away, and we are going to stay the night there, I'm already worrying about D in their house. I'm taking 2 Imodiums 2 hours we set off, and of course my lexapro.

We have to tell ourselves "it will be a-ok"!! If you're worried about your two immodium not working for you, take 3. It won't hurt you. And, Moni, I bet they've had diarrhea a time or two in their lives also

Bring your immodium, spray, whatever makes you most comfortable when you're home. I'm having a bad day today, but,I'm at home, I'm cooking, I drank some tea, ate spearmint candy, took 2 librax, things are starting to calm down in the gut finally.Take care of yourself.

Thanks Jan,I am taking all my supplies with me, and I should be ok, at least there are 3 bathrooms there, and only one in my apartment. Thanks, and happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the encouragement guys! The 2 worked but I was too afraid to eat on the 8 hour trip, so I was pretty hungry but I'm used to that. Once I got there I realized I could have eaten and was like, "####!" Oh well.
