Re: Help with painful side effects from TCHP!
I found that the Immodium was worse for me. I couldn't quite get the right dose, and would often feel bloated and very gassy/crampy from it. I did use high doses of L-glutamine powder and that cut the edge off of the diarrhea quite a bit. It didn't stop completely, but was much more manageable. Drink A LOT of fluids the day before, day of, and a day or two after chemo - as in 90-100 ounces. I stayed very hydrated that way. Good luck. I know that it's a tough time. Dig in to your strength, and accept support from others. Rest when you need to. Hugs!
