First try to take one-half of a teaspoon before you eat. If you have a bowel movement after you have taken the imodium and eaten then before the next meal take three-fourths of a teaspoon of Imodium. If after the three-fourths and meal you have a bowel movement then increase the imodium gradually until there is no bowel movement after you have eaten. But be sure that you do have a bowel movement when you are using titration of the liquid Imodium during the day. If you don't have a bowel movement after you have eaten and had the imodium then skip the imodium before the next meal. Only take the Imodium if you have bowel movements. Only use LIQUID IMODIUM so it can be titrated. Good luck. Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Andre, Gail and Sue Rebello who have both had the TP/ICT are expected to be at the symposium also. They had their surgeries before I had mine and Sue is the person who wrote Sue's Story which introduced me to the TP/ICT in the beginning. Without her writing her story and giving out all of the information about herself and Dr. Sutherland I would never have found out about the surgery that helped me so much. I am so eager to finally meet Sue. Gail I have already met. She is a wonderful person. She is an RN and She had the Whipple before she had the PT/ICT so I know she will be able to give you loads of information. While I was recovering in MN she flew in to visit me from Wisconsin. A perfect stranger doing something so kind for me. They are great people who help those who suffer from cp. Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Maggie, Boost makes two different juice drinks that are supplements equal to Ensure with no dairy in them. They should be in the same aisle as the Ensure. It's called Boost Breeze.Or you could check them out online at http://www.boost.com/ Look under the products menu.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 --- the problem i have with ensure products is that my cholestrol is so high 10.75 i don't need the dairy I also find ice cream makes me deathly sick Maggie, Your message confused me at first so I went to my " trusty " Ensure supply to check on the contents. Ensure does not conatin any dairy products. I didn't think it did since I have been practically living off of this suppliment ever since my last surgery in 1997. Being lactose intolerant, I too am unable to eat ice cream or anything with milk in it without getting deathly ill myself. As to the cholestoral content, I'm not certain about this since I have no idea what my cholestorol level is currently and don't want to know. I have enough to deal with with this pancreatitis. Besides, the last thing I am worried about right now is having a heart attack. Sometimes, I think this would be best for all concerned if I did have one so I can get " off of this ride " ...
