Diarrhea
"I&#039;ve had ulcerative colitis since 1967, with severe abdominal cramping and spasms, with and without diarrhea.  After numerous attempts with other medications, I found lomotil to be most effective at controlling symptoms, without the side effects of other medications such as flushing.  I can take 2 lomotil tabs at the onset of abdominal symptoms and abort attacks of diarrhea. It also works for cramping caused by spasms of the intestinal wall preventing feces from being expelled.  Doctors are amazed that I&#039;ve lived with this disease for so long without surgery, steroids or sulfa drugs.  My key is managing my stress level which is very helpful overall, and lomotil, which aborts diarrhea and alleviates cramping. A miracle drug for me."
