<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thank you for all your help. Several listmates suggested AlkaSeltzer Gold. >>>>>For what is worth, I found all medicine more problems than their worth. I found taking minerals (magnesium, calcium, potassium) did more for me. Magnesium seems to correct it quickest, but the mineral balance is needed.<<<< Quite a number of people suggested Metamucil for bulking. Others said that only Pepto Bismal liquid or tablets helped them. Many said they had scripts for Lomotil which is g/f or the generic Lonox. Someone else suggested paregoric but doesn't know if it is g/f. That one goes way back to my childhood. Thanks again. Rosalie (NJ)
