Immodium

[HeatherMoon]

Just wondering if anyone knew if it's ok to take immodium when you're on Lialda and prednisone. My little girl is dancing on Sat and I HAVE to go see her but it's in very public place (A casino!) and I have no ideas where the bathrooms are. I don't plan on eating before hand but that doesn't always matter. Thanks!

My GI tells me to take Immodium when it is just too bad to function and I can't do anything, just use it sparingly. I have never been on Lialda though but asacol. I assume it is very similar. So use with caution, blocking up the intestines can be very dangerous for someone with IBD.

Yes, lialda and asacol are the same type of meds. Thanks for getting back to me. I think I'll take just one IF I feel awful.

My doc said I can take it but only in emergency or extremely important situations where it is important not to use the bathroom for extended periods. I also just believe if it needs to come out it needs to come out. Good luck with the dance though hope it goes well for her and you.
