Suffering From Explosive Squits?

Advantages: Fast and effective
Disadvantages: Cost and Constipation

Saturday night started off with a bottle of Rioja during the Grand National, which led to a visit to the pub to spend my winnings which were enough for a round, of JD and cokes for everyone. This inevitably led to more JD and coke intermingled with Erdinger, Vodka and coke, Kronenbourg (for some reason that escapes me), Tequila, Sambuca and Jaegermeister, all topped off with a Kebab on the way home. Not surprisingly this led to a case of explosive ...
...tasted funny…… I needed a cure and needed it fast, I was not even sure that I was going to make it as far as Boots, especially after I had an accident in the lift which ruined a pair of pants and an old pair of jeans. Upon entering Boots I immediately spotted the Immodium Instants and as it would be a good ten minutes before I got home then it had to be these babies. So I slapped a fiver on the counter and got a couple of quids worth of change. ...

Review of Imodium Instants

A stop gap for excessive crap!

Advantages: Handy if you have a long day at work
Disadvantages: Works against bodies natural defences

...stops diarrhoea! What is Imodium advanced? ******************************** Well Imodium advanced contains a further active ingredient simethicone. Simethicone is used to treat the wind pain, stomach cramps and bloating often associated with diarrhoea. Well that’s nice but what is diarrhoea? ***************************************** Diarrhoea can be a result of a number of things. It may be due to infection, antibiotics, inflammation or irritation ...
...************************************* Oh aye yeah. Imodium advanced comes in a nice little silver box with a picture of a black man (I mean a black man I am not referring to ethnic origin!) on the front (huh?). Inside are six little tablets, which are mint flavoured and are to be chewed. They taste a lot like softmints and leave you with nice, minty fresh breath. It is a pity you already have a smelly backside! Instructions wise they are the usual ...

Review of Imodium Advanced

Excellant short term relief

Advantages: Good fast relief
Disadvantages: Some Need slightly higher dose than 75mg.

...no relief so I tried Zantac 75mg (Ranitidine). After a couple of days I started to gain some relief so it definately had some effect. I decided though that it wasnt enough so I visted my doctor who put me on 150mg of Zantac. He stated that taking Zantac is better than taking a bottle of Gaviscon so I would definately recommend anyone to give it a try for anyone with symptoms of heartburn or indigestion. If the 75mg is not working for you, make an ...
...GP to get put on Zantac but it you have the odd episode of heartburn then give zantac a go as it will definately do the trick after a few doses and its available off the shelf. I got mine from tescos and it was reasonably priced and worked fast and provided long term relief. ...

Review of Zantac Relief

Amazing Blue Tablet!

Advantages: Very Effective
Disadvantages: None

...lot. I came along the Gaviscon make of tablets for this condition so I went ahead to give this ago. There are many different types and flavours but I went for the 'Gaviscon Cool'. They are a blue tablet which you put in your mouth and instead of sucking all you do is chew them. The taste is alright . It certainly works very quickly and effectively and I find within 30 minutes my symptoms are much better and had subsided. Each tablet contains ...
...are the active ingredients for this relux suppressant. When you take one of these tablets and chewing it the stomach will form a protective lining on the stomach so that it will prevent the acid getting further into the stomach and eases the discomfort from the food pipe. You can buy them in packets of 16 or 32 I prefer the smaller packet as that fits in my handbag very easily. ...

Review of Gaviscon Cool

The Ex Factor

Advantages: tastes of chocolate, they work
Disadvantages: could appeal to children, abuse

...you will find Ex-Lax. Ex-Lax Senna Chocolate Laxatives come in a little cardboard packet, which has a main blue colour to it. It does stand out quite well among the other packets, with 'Ex-Lax' written in blue block capitals across the middle. The thing that I think makes these most appealing is the little picture of chocolate on the front. These are 'chocolate laxatives', made to taste more appealing than horrid brown laxative tablets. If I am honest, ...
...Each of the twenty four ex-lax tablets contans 15mg of sennosides, which is around average for your usual laxatives you buy in stores. Sennosides come from Senna leaves, and is used often as a natural laxative. It sounds quite reliable, and indeed it does work! Inside the Ex-Lax packet there is a leaflet with all the safety precautions, such as not being able to take this under certain circumstances etc. It is worth reading this just in case - you ...
