Hi Michele,
When I was on Tykerb I had a terrible time with diarrhea the entire time that I was on it which was for 15 months. I lived on Immodium, I would take Immodium every morning as soon as I woke up before I took the Tykerb. Tykerb is to be taken 2 hours before or 2 hours after a meal. The Immodium helped me a great deal and without it I would have been living in the bathroom the entire time I was on Tykerb.
Everyone is different though and hopefully this wont be a problem for you the entire time. Be sure to let your onc know. My onc was fine with me taking Immodium everyday and there are prescription drugs you can take if the Immodium doesn't work for you. You can also try the BRAT diet for a while and see if that helps.
Wishing you all the best,
Nicola
