Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I hardly have that problem anymore but when I did have it I would take 2 Atropine tablets with my morning meds and 2 of them 30 minutes before eating lunch and dinner and 2 more at night with my night meds. This worked for me I would take 8 pills a day they are tiny anyway. One thing that would cause me problems was rare beef. I have been off atropine since I started my new regimen of Truvada,Norvir and Reyataz. Another thing to put into your stomach is cultured yogurt to bring back the gut flora the way it needs to be.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 First, I hope that you've seen a great gastroenterologist, to make sure nothing else is going on in the bowels (colonoscopy, stool tests MRI, etc). I ate a lot of rice when I had it, and I had it SEVERELY. I lived on Immodium AD back then. But my problem was caused by colitus, and then a few of my meds, and then later, Kaposi's sarcoma in my intestinal lining. BTW, opium and other meds like that can make the bowels "sleep" and create even more havoc on your intestines. These meds can clog up your pipes leading to constipation and/or more of the runs. Also, check your meds side effects to see if they are causing it. You may be able to switch meds to alleviate the problem.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Personally, I do better avoiding milk products and onions in particular. Although Garlic does not seem to have an affect. Rich, greasy foods, heavily laced foods with Olive Oil also can predictably cause a problem. I am on Atripla (Sustiva, Viread, Emtriva) which has work very well otherwise. Some sexual dysfunction, but still a workable situation. I also take pysotropics, high blood pressure, and other heart medications. Since they are since the HIV meds, I do not find that they have any significant affect.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi , NO you are not the only one! I finally got it under control with Sandostatin, I had to inject it daily. It was a pain but at least it controlled the diarreaha. Regards, Terry > > Am I the only one who can't leave the house without taking Imodium?
