What are some tips for managing IBS diarrhea?

I have IBS Diarrhea and would like feedback from those that suffer from it.I’ve been having a really hard time lately and mostly the topics are about IBS with constipation.What helped you manage this type of?

  1. Imodium AD preventively helps.

    1. I’ve been using that almost daily. Do you follow a specific diet?

      1. I was having that every day for a while. And I finally found out that the medicine i took every night was part of the problem. Mylanta has magnesium in it and that gives me diarrhea. I didnt realize that the medicine that made my stomach feel better was part of the problem. I quit taking that and I still have ibs but not every day with the diarrhea.

        1. Ahhh, that is a good discovery! Thanks for sharing that, I'm not sure how many people know that and who knows, it may help someone who is wondering why they have diarrhea. Even though it still happens sometimes, the fact it happens less is still a win! Let us know if there's anything we can do to help from here! Keep on keepin' on, DPM

      2. Just wanted to chime in and let you know we do have an IBS-D forum dedicated solely to that! It has a ton of community info and responses so hopefully it can at least give you a place to start! Let us know if there's anything else we can do! Keep on keepin' on, DPM
