It’s not clear to me what you mean by “feel unwell”. Most of the bowel slower alternatives can make one feel a bit sedated - if that is what you mean. I personally think you may have a spasmodic bowel (if the frequency occurs right after eating, with bursts of output, that is the issue). That issue is easily corrected by taking antispasmodics like bentyl and levsin, but those drugs can make you feel loopy - again, because you haven’t defined how Imodium makes you feel, it’s unclear if this would be the same effect.

I had a spasmodic bowel when I had the ileostomy, but that was after colectomy and creation of the J Pouch.

CTBarrister, can you please describe to me, what your 'symptoms' of a spasmadic bowel we're?
