Regular Imodium ok, ez chews not?

Hi girls!  Has anyone else taken Imodium for their upset tummy?  I pretty much can't eat without running to the bathroom right after (which makes lunch today out with my family very difficult).  I had Imodium ez chews but read they weren't good during pregnancy, but regular Imodium (Loperamide HCL is ok)...has anyone else heard otherwise???

  • I have the same problem and Immodium is good to take.  Also, I heard that you cannot take Kaopectate because it (like Pepto) contains Subsalicylate which (I think) is a derivative of Aspirin, but I could be wrong about that.  I just know that you're supposed to avoid it.
  • Oh good!!!!  Thanks so much for posting-----I went ahead and took a regular one and it really helped!!!!  There's a huge difference with having that issue while you are at home and having it while out to lunch with your family who doesn't know you are pregnant yet Big Smile
