I know that when you have diarrhea you should use backup, but here's my question:
I have mild IBS so almost everyday I will have one bowel movement that is a little abnormal..usually the stool shape is thinner or flatter but it is never full blown diarrhea. The stool is still formed, just not ideally formed. Does this mean I should use backup? I don't have diarrhea everyday (or ever, really), just variations in stool shape. Would this affect my pill that was already absorbed almost 12 hours ago?
Thanks!!

i didnt even know you were supposed to use a back up method when your sick..what difference would it make if you pooped that day or not?

You can check with your doctor or clinic but when they say DIARRHEA they really mean like loose watery stools you go like 8 to 10 times a day for a few days really a mean dose of stomach flu etc...i don't think one soft or loose bowel movement a day or weekly covers it.

hmm.. i've been on the pill for 2 years and never heard about using back up when you have diarrhea... call your doctor's office or maybe pharmacist and ask them.

If you are that concerned, you might want to try the patch or the ring. Neither pass thru your digestive system.
