How Can Diarrhea Be Treated?
Following radiation for prostate cancer in 2006, I have over the last couple of years developed what I describe as a loose bowel syndrome. Is dicyclimine a preferred drug to help control this matter? I have used PeptoBismal, and Immodium, but have found little success. The stools are round, hard, and less that marble size. What do you suggest?
