Are you taking Imodium AD? You will find that it’s a game changer. I go on planes, out to eat, to the beach, long walks with our dogs in the woods, went the the Derby. Yes sometimes you have to wear like the Depends or there’s an Always brand that works. Especially when flying just in case. 😉 When you are going out make sure you have had your Imodium AD. I take it 2-3 times a day per Drs orders. I understand completely how you feel. I go ride my horse all the time also. We jump fences lol that can get things moving around. I can’t stay at home either. I’ve been watching what I eat making sure I eat small meals every 2-3 hours. Stay away from foods that cause gas like broccoli beans etc. that will slow things down. I had the whipple 9 months ago. Not sure when you had it? It will get better! Takes some time. Good luck! Don’t give up!

P.S. to my reply to you. If you take 2/3 Imodium each day. When are you able to move your bowels as Imodium is meant for diarrhea or so I thought. How do you space the doses? I really appreciate this information as I started to take it after I read your reply. I’ll still check with my doctor as our cases could be completely different. I don’t want to be constipated.

Thanks again.
