Lonox Reviews
For Diarrhea "I started to take Lonox once I was diagnosed with IBS. Before I started the pill, I was always in the bathroom. Everything I ate made me sick. I was afraid to leave my house, eat out, and just go out in general. When I would get my “attacks,” I felt as if I had no control over my body. If I had to go, I HAD TO GO. There was no such thing as waiting until I got home. I started to map out public bathrooms that I felt comfortable enough in just in case I had an emergency on the road and had to go. I’ve felt as if Lonox has given me my life back. I’m able to go out on long trips, eat out, and be me again without fearing an “emergency.” I was directed to take 2 pills 3 times a day, but it made me constipated, and I would cramp pretty bad. What works for me is taking the 2 pills once a day in the morning. I always go to the bathroom within ½ hour of taking the pill, but at least it’s predictable now, and I stay regulated. Some days I have to take the pill twice, but never more than that."
For Diarrhea "I had diarrhea several times a week and especially when we went out. I felt housebound. After beginning dosages of Lonox I was more comfortable, able to travel, and able eat out. Because of these improvements in my health, I also am more secure in leaving my house."
