Alright, ladies, let’s get real. Poop happens. Often, at the worst possible time. That’s why we laugh the hardest when we watch the unforgettable scene in Bridesmaids when Maya Rudolph and Melissa McCartney struggle to overcome a horrible bout of food poisoning during a bridal fitting. Or when Charlotte mistakenly drinks the water during her shower in Mexico in Sex and the City: The Movie and doesn’t make it to the hotel suite in time to relieve herself. We laugh because this seems like the absolute worst thing to happen, but we also laugh because we’ve all had an experience where we didn’t think we would make it to the bathroom in time.

Recently, I made the poor decision to eat a heavy breakfast before hitting the road. My family left for a four-hour road trip upstate. Shortly into the ride, my stomach started to feel a little off. I’m not a big fan of using the public restroom, but this was an emergency situation.  Unfortunately, this was during the time when public restrooms were not all fully open and other places had restrictions. The outlook was not looking good. 

Thankfully, I had IMODIUM® with me (I never leave home without it). I quickly took two IMODIUM® A-D Caplets and shortly afterwards, my stomach started to settle, and I made it to our destination without any embarrassing mishaps.  I’m sure I’m not the only mom to have ever broken out in a sweat thinking I wouldn’t make it nor am I the only mom who has had to miss out on the fun because I had to keep going to the bathroom.  Read on to see why I’m such a huge fan of IMODIUM® A-D Caplets and would highly recommend it to every woman I know.

IMODIUM® Helps Me Survive Life’s Busy Seasons

Life as a working mom never slows down, but some seasons are busier than others. Like the holiday season. According to a survey reported by the New York Post, “The pressure to have a ‘perfect Christmas’ also takes its toll on 41 percent of Americans, 5 who confess to working ‘too hard’ to achieve it. The percentage jumps to almost half (49 percent) for moms, who put even more pressure on themselves.” Almost half of today’s modern moms blame the pressures that come with holiday planning for their bouts of “less than festive” stress. If you catch my drift ;) …

Beyond the holidays, the pressures and high demands of everyday life alone can trigger diarrhea. With IMODIUM® A-D Caplets, diarrhea is one less thing you have to worry about! As soon as I feel an upset stomach coming on, I can take a caplet and find relief within an hour. Which is great, because then I can tackle my giant holiday to-do list without having to worry about constantly running to the restroom. Basically, IMODIUM® A-D Caplets have been a true game-changer for me.

IMODIUM is #1 doctor-recommended anti-diarrheal brand for symptom relief and control. The IMODIUM® A-D Caplets work for even mild bouts of diarrhea by slowing your digestive system back to its normal, comfortable pace. I like the caplets because they are fast, effective, and small.

And, I never ever travel without IMODIUM® A-D Caplets. Ask anyone who has ever experienced Traveler’s diarrhea and you’ll see why IMODIUM® A-D Caplets is a travel essential.
