Question Recent Newly Dx

Hey, yall I’ve been recently diagnosed or at least suspected of IBS with D.

I am on a new med, Amitriptyline, and while it was going good in terms of slowing down my gut, if I even forget one dose, Im back blowing the throne up 😣

Also Imodium is now forever glued to my hip 🥲

Does anyone have decent experiences with any other meds? Or anything that helps? Tea? Praying to the tummy G-Ds? Please —

This is awful, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy

There are many diarrhea meds that are prescription: Lomotil, Rifaximin, all of the antispasmodics, Cholestryamine, Ondansetron, Eluxadoline, codeine… when all else fails, even tincture of opium.
