I talked with a guy today about severe diarrhea that set in after 3 weeks. He said that Lomotil was a lifesaver. Wondering how common the diarrhea side effect is for others.

@smoore4 Not quite the same, but I asked my RO one day what percentage of patients get proctitis, in her experience. She quoted 6%, which included both mild and extreme cases.

I had only a couple BMs that I’d call diarrhea. The main thing I’ve experienced is that the quality of my BMs is more variable than usual, even though my diet is much more constrained than usual.
