What can I take for diarrhea if I also have IBS?
I am taking Bentyl 10 mg (dicyclomine) and I’ve heard that Imodium is sometimes too harsh for the intestine. Is this true? What can I take to stop the diarrhea, or should I just wait it out? I think stress triggered this particular episode, as I am in the process of moving away from my husband.
You are right! Stress has a lot to do with what you’re experiencing. And yes, imodium is harsh on the gut. I suggest you go natural and stay away from synthetic drugs (unless you gamble with the side effects that go with it). I recommend you take natural polysaccharides, the one that is found on plants, as a holistic approach to your IBS and stress/depression issues. Many of my friends and relatives have benifited from this. You can get direct from http://www.racespiloy.freelife.com
Hope this could help you.

You should control your emotional stress. Drink more water.Try valerian tea, and take some librium tablets. Banana is very good in diarrhea. Avoid irritating foods like spicy, and hard-to-digest stuff like nuts and cabbage.
