product info if anyone is interested

It's the same active ingredients as regular Imodium plus Gas-X (simethicone). There are many people here who use both, but I think it would probably be too little Imodium and too much simethicone relative to the usual doses for people with j-pouches.

You're only 10 days out... have you tried drinking a little bit (less than one serving) of beer yet? I would give it a try without meds first just to see what happens. I'm about two months out now and thought for sure I would need Imodium in order to drink black coffee again, but it turns out not to have a noticeable effect on my BMs (even though it gave me diarrhea with my ileo). So you never know until you try!

I like this product very much. I found it a couple months ago. It's the same amount of Imodium as the regular tablet with the added simethicone. I've found that many of my urges are really gas so this helps me a lot through the evenings.
