Thank you one and all for your quick responses to my post on kaopectate and 
 that Lomotil didn't seem to be working. I am fine now after figuring out 
what  bothered me. It was an allergy to yeast that set me off. I should not 
be eating  bread with yeast in it. Foolish me.
 
Kaopectate is no longer the kaolin clay compound it was when I was a kid  
(I was born in 1956).  It is some other compound now.
My daughter  gets kaolin from a homeopathic doctor.  I would check the 
ingredients  in Kaopectate vis a vis the Immodium and Lomotil
 
Kaopectate is gluten-free according to the www.glutenfreedrugs.com   list, 
which I trust implicitly. I just contacted Steve, the pharmacist from the  
children's hospital in Cleveland, who manages this list. I had contacted him  
about something else.

Lomotil is the only thing that works for me.  If you are taking a  generic 
you should check with your pharmacist to be sure there is no gluten in  it. 
 
Have you tried Levsin? My daughter and I never travel without it.

Pepto Bismol is gluten free and works well. It will turn your stool  black
 
I called the folks at Kaopectate several years ago and, at that time, it  
was not gluten free
