well, thank you for the great suggestions. I know I probably didnt give enough info. I finally realized my cramping co-incided with taking Imodium. I may try Imodium multi purpose with silmethicone for gas. It was a painful few days and I should have realized sooner what was causing it. But I wasn't sure because I also introduced a few new foods in that time.

Has anyone also had problems with Imodium like that?
Have any that had problems with gas used multi purpose and found it worked better?
do some find pepto works better?

I wish I didn't want or need it, but my daytime job demands I go as little as possible. I'm down to going 3 times during my daytime work. nighttime work has been living hell because I go so much at night where I wish I was home, but I need the money.
