Thanks a bunch Chris;

You certainly are a wealth of information.

Could you please give me the name of the medication

that works better than immodium? My PCP has me

taking LOPERIMIDE but that is just the active

ingredientin immodium. At least that's my understanding.

If I'm incorrect, please set me straight.

There are quite a few out there, the most common of which is Lomotil,

which has an opiate base (prescription only). There are also many

different kinds of irritable bowel syndrome drugs that work well too.

Some docs are hesitant to prescribe those because they make it appear

that you have IBS.

Gobo, if I was going that frequently I would be VERY concerned about

dehydration. Since we are practically switch sisters, at this point

in time I know there is no way that you could be making up that much

fluid loss. Please call him again tomorrow and insist that he do

something more.
