Jill Health Weight Loss Program:
Side Effect Management for Diarrhea
Don’t worry, we’re here to help.
We want to thank you for choosing Jack Health. This webpage overviews the most important information about the loperamide (Imodium) in your relief kit:
Loperamide is an oral tablet taken to treat diarrhea. It works to slow the movement of your intestines (by causing the gut to contract less) and slows down the time it takes for fluids and foods to move through them. This allows the body to start absorbing fluids and salts as it should, restoring stools back to a more normal consistency.
We offer regular Imodium as well as Imodium Multi-Symptom Relief which will also help with relieving cramps and pressure, gas and bloating in addition to diarrhea.
Regular Imodium and Imodium Multi-Symptom Relief: Take 2 caplets after the first loose stool and 1 caplet after each subsequent loose stool. Do not take more than 4 caplets in 24 hours.
If you take this drug on a regular basis, take a missed dose as soon as you think about it. If it is close to the time of your next dose (aka next bowel movement), skip the missed dose and take it after your next bowel movement. Do not take 2 doses at the same time or extra doses.
Store at room temperature and in a dry place. Do not store in a bathroom.
Keep all drugs in a safe place, out of reach from children and pets.
Do not take if expired. Dispose through a drug take-back program if it goes unused or expires.
Remember, this medication is just for you. Side effects can occur, but not everyone gets them.
Most common side effects:
Imodium is contraindicated if you are experiencing bloody or black stools, if you have a history of liver disease or history of abnormal heart rhythm.

"I've lost 30 lbs in the past two months. It's really easy to inject (and doesn't hurt) and it has completely curbed my cravings. Now I eat to fuel myself. Another 70 lbs to go but I'm feeling excited about my weight loss for the first time."
”The program has stopped my bored snacking - I used to have trouble saying no to treats during the work day and after dinner. Now I’m better able to manage my appetite, and combined with starting to go to the gym and being more careful about what I eat at meals, I’m losing about one pound a week. I’m thinking this is the last diet I’m going to have to do. Hopefully ever.”
"After struggling with weight loss my entire life, and not having a primary doctor I could speak with, I came across Jill Health online. After a short wait, I had my blood taken, results looked after, and an appointment to go over everything with their team. I am now at the beginning of a new journey to see if science (medication), a dedicated dietician, Read More and hard work will finally get me where I need to be.I have nothing but positive things to say about every interaction I have had with their team so far. I had a difficult time finding reviews when I was first looking into this company, so I wanted to make sure others looking at their weight loss program could find mine!"
