Who has GI issues? (Bad tummy)

[[os...]]

Anyone have diarrhea and often during tapering?

 

I did not have this for the first two thirds of my taper but i have had a bad stomach every morning for a month now... no pain, just gas and the runs... it´s so annoying.

 

I know it´s not a nice subject but wondered if anyone took imodium regularly?

yes I have had the runs a lot but taking probiotic every morning seems to help- although this morning I have a little. Yes it is weird how I don't really get cramping w/ it and that makes it hard for me to go anywhere cause I'm afraid of crapping my pants- I did one time when I had to sign my will-ugh! but that was before I was on probiotics. I take a lot of pepto for all my issues

Hi Oscar,

 

Sorry your tummy has been giving you problems.  I had many tummy issues during my taper.  Diarrhea being one of them.  It did not last for me though.  It would act up and would then improve for awhile.  Just make sure to keep fluids in you.  Something I've just started recently to regulate my system is drinking water w/ a 1/2 of a lemon squeezed into it.  The water should be lukewarm.  Apparently, after I did some reading, it should also help aiding digestion and will often stop diarrhea!  I thought the acid would bother my stomach more, but not at all.  IF you try it, make sure to wash the lemon well w/ dish soap/water as lemons have a lot of pesticides on them.  It's worth a try and it tastes refreshing. 

 

Many people have great success with probiotics - I personally never tried it.  And ginger tea is great for settling the cramps.  I never tried immodium as I know it can have the opposite problem and will often constipate you. 

 

Hang in there - these things do resolve over time. 

 

All my best,
