Reply to "Night time bathroom and liquid absorption"

Hi Brad,

I tend to agree with everyone here. Having said that, you have a pouch for 25 years, congrats for being a long timer! (Ideally I should be getting advice from you, as I am only a 1 year poucher).

i think everyone is different but I take Imodium 3 times daily (breakfast dinner and bedtime) to slow things down and limit liquid discharge. It’s always a work in progress.  I eat two big meals a day and try not to eat past 6 pm.

this generally gives me good results, but certain non GI meds cause liquid stools, so it’s an ongoing balancing act. I drink 64 ounces per day of Gatorade to keep me hydrated but I attest to the fact that if I just drink and not eat it would cause watery stool.

perhaps you can fill us in on some more details of your daily routine and then we can try to see if your experiences match some of ours and we can compare in greater detail our specific solutions.

You must be doing something right to have 25 years in and hardly posting here. Would love to hear more of your success story.
