I took loperamide for about a year after my operation, and it did work. During that time, I noticed that what I ate made it worse or less. So since then, I have stopped the loperamide and used food to control the flow. I prefer doing this, for it helps me be conscious of my eating habits.
Loperamide worked well, and I did not have any symptoms and was not too conscious of my eating habits.
If I lose control and have more than a day of too much liquid, I take one loperamide and eat food that thickens the stool.
It works for me,
