I have a perm ileo and often have liquidy output. I think this is largely due to my diet because I enjoy lots of produce and am unwilling to change what I eat unless really necessary. I take one Imodium in the a.m. and one before bed to slow things down and also because I've heard it allows more time for the body to absorb water from the stool before elimination.
I have three questions: 1) are there any downsides to increasing my Imodium to one tablet three times a day? 2) is it true that Imodium helps the body retain more liquid? 3) when is the best time to take it (with meals, before bed, etc.)?
Thank you,
