I hope he finds some relief to his problem.
Thank you! I am following everyone’s input —
1- Imodium but proactively, rather than reactively. One before each meal.
2- Buscopan in the morning and with Imodium right before bed.
3- trying to incorporate more soluble fiber and added chia seeds. I’ve also ordered psyllium husk which will arrive today.
He has another cycle tomorrow. I hope he goes through it with minimal side effects.
