Sounds like we have a similar regimen…peppermint tea in the morning ( although I think about trying the IB Guard), Imodium and Bentyl if I have a morning activity or travel, ativan as needed for anxiety. Different doctors, different suggestions…
I really wanted to go the non drug route, “natural” remedies, but also had too many uncontrollable bowel events. So I’ll do whatever I need to to avoid that!
Learning from each of you that I’m not a freak! Thanks for aharing.

It is such a horrific problem! Life altering.
I also use the Bentyl regularly when hypermotility of my colon starts because I know it is going to be one of those days. Like you, if I have an outing or travel I take anti-diarrheal and Bentyl.

I carry clean underwear, pads, Cottonelles and clean baggies in my purse at all times. And wear a pad most days, just in case.
