Anyone suffering from IBS-D that can tell me what your symptoms are and what medication you take? Do your meds work?

Oh yea,,,how often do you get it and how long does it last? Is it daily, or just a few days out the week/month?

Oh, well, at least I now know I am not alone. I too suffer from this nasty condition. I eat, i poop, i eat i poop. It's a horrible cycle. Lomotil worked for a while. but now i just eat the same foods which do not make me have these symptoms. i stopped drinking decaf coffee and changed to teas. no meds right now. just vegi and other healthy foods.

I know this doesn't really answer your question, but... I was diagnosed with IBS-D and it turns out that I have Celiac Disease. Now that I am on the gluten free diet I no longer have any IBS symptoms whatsoever. Go to www.celiac.com and www.glutenfreeforum.com for more information. Many people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed as having IBS.
