let's say you're in lecture or in public and you got to go bad.. does it act fast for stopping both diarrhea and pooping?

I don't know of any medication that will do that,and definitely not this one. This one is a generic version of Pepto Bismol, and works quite well.

I have to disagree with TxGen. This product is generic Lomotil (loperaminde hydorcholride) while Pepto-Bismol is bismuth subsalicylate. For most people, capsules and/or pills take about 20 minutes to dissolve in the stomach. You might do better to take a liquid like liquid Imodium (which would be the ingredient in this capsule). Then you don't have to wait for anything to dissolve. It's available at places like CVS and Walmart. I didn't check Amazon.

Take it before you leave house..... works good with psyllium capsules. Take 4 psyllium capsules with every meal.... about one every 4 bites.Take half a Kirkland at beginning of meal..... half at end.

It's not generic Pepto Bismol, which is not a particularly effective anti-diarrheal. Loperamide is an opioid that acts on the mu opioid receptors as an agonist. (So it increases their action.) Just like opioid analgesics like codeine, it slows down the action of the GI tract, allowing more water to be absorbed from food as it passes through, so, firmer and dryer stools. This formulation doesn't act quickly; it may start working within an hour, and peaks in the bloodstream about 5 hours after you take it. It is fairly long acting and should keep working as long as 24 hours. The liquid will be faster and may work in as little as a half hour. The only way it could stop "pooping" would be to constipate you. Enough of it might do that--it does with most opioids--but that could result in an impaction. Not a good thing. You don't want to stop "pooping." Hope this helps!

I've been using this stuff for years. Everyone is different but give it at least 1 hour. That is the time I find it takes to fully take effect. Once taken it should make you feel better for at least 24 hours. I suggest increasing fiber in your diet if you take it on a regular basis as it will certainly constipate you. If you have never taken it before, start with 1 or half a tablet just to make sure you do not have a reaction to it. If you are fine I say take at least 2 tablets. I have done 3-4 tablets at once before and suffered no ill effects.

I sufferer from irritable bowel syndrome. I take Imodium AD occasionally to slow me down. I would not consider it fast acting.

If you have experienced either of thse unexpected bodily occurences before, I would recommend taking a tablet or two a few hours prior. It may result in a slight constipation but reduces the risk of having to run for the restroom. Later in a few days, you might want to follow up with another capsule if you have a chronic problem. My expience here.

This does not act that fast. I suggest if you have problems, you take it a couple of hours before your lecture just as a precautionmary.

My Dad takes it for swallowing problems due to Parkinson's. I have noticed any stool problems.

I don't believe it does. I've used this product for about 2 years with great results. I have IBS. Which meant I'd get diarrhea every single time I ate. My dr told me to try a probiotic. I thought it would never work. I was never able to go eat somewhere and not be close to a bathroom. This product changed my life. That may sound dramatic to some but it's so true for me. I tell anyone who'll listen about it. Not sure I answered your question but I've had no problems and great results with this product. Hope this helped.

I can let u know when I get home but I do know that the main thing is fiber..keeps u really full and go to the bathroom if you eat something fattening. . IT DOES WORK. But mainly targets belly fat. I'm sure it would worked better if I worked out. It makes your bowels a greenish blue the first few days but OK after.

It starts working within 2-3 days of regular use. This is not an immediate symptom reliever but a supplement for long term management. IBS-D symptoms were reduced from 5-6 days a week to one or two. Symptoms were less severe than usual on those one or two days. After 4 months of regular use, this supplement has continued to work consistently.

Three of my four dogs have that nasty habit and I've tried all the coprophagia deterrents - none seem to work. I've been using this product for about 2 months and the dogs don't seem as interested in eating stool as they were before. It hasn't totally eliminated the bad habit, just lessened it but I'm happy with that because nothing worked before.

In my experience with drinking this over the past week it hasn't had any effect on my digestive system as mentioned. It's delicious and good for you but I haven't noticed an increase in amount or frequency of bathroom visits. You would probably want to look into a different product if that's specifically what you're looking for.

If the smell shows up when it's humid, I'd guess the poop spots would show. The pee spots in my hs were invisible & only became strong odor when it got humid. Vinegar(1/2 water) in my carpet shampooer worked great in the lit up spots. Must be completely dark to see everything though. The more conspicuous spots were only illuminated in complete darkness with the light. Good luck!

I actually stop using this because my fart stinks lol. You can try though, I think this Product is good, I just didn't continue using it and eat healthy food instead.

For all concerns 4 hours. Katadyn's Micropur tablets claim to be "effective against killing viruses and bacteria, including cryptosporidium and giardia." Most concerns are eliminated within the first hour. But cryptosporidium takes 4 hours . I am planning to use the tablets in conjunction with a water filter. My water filter removes cryptosporium - so I won't have as long to wait...But always better to be safe than sorry.

Yes, for me it works this way, the bowel movements are stress free. However, please allow your system 1-2 weeks after you started to take the capsules to adjust. I am very happy I found this product, I took a similar product in the 16 years I lived in Germany, and was very worried if I would find something that would work just as well here. I hope it will work for you in the same way too.

We have used this product for years & never had any problems. If your dog isn't eating or pooping then seek a DVM ASAP!! Both eating & pooping are natural processes but dogs just like people sometimes just are not hungry/thirsty which slows the pooping. Dehydration plays a huge part of pooping as well. Worming should be done on a regular basis to avoid future problems!! Best of Luck!!

Not if you eat plenty of Medialink branded probiotics. They help neutralize latency that would normally give you constipation.

I don't think it would stop the activity. However, the purpose of this is to make more good bacteria than bad bacteria in the digestive system. So, in that way it could be beneficial.

I don't recommend using them on your "bowels"; they have laxatives for that, haha! But for bowls, yes. ;)

I don't know much about the technical stuff, I only know that it helped me poop lol. It could've been my diet, or other factors, but it happened after drinking the tea. There's this other stuff called senna tea that also flushes you out - more powerfully than kombucha. Maybe they put something else in this kambucha tea that does the trick?
