My output is normally thick without loperamide but I take upto eight per day, kind of as and when required to slow down the output rather than thicken it.
Inbetween these episodes of dehydration I've been recovering well.
It begins with nauseating stomach spasms, which is very uncomfortable, creating a shiver through my body as I feel the colostomy bag fill and as I'm expelling more fluids than I can replenish, I dehydrate very quickly, which results with an admission to hospital.
