I've personally only used it once, while in Vegas after visiting the buffet at the Rio Hotel. My stomach was hurting like a bitch afterwards. I took two pills and it worked like a charm. I think if you just use the recommended dosage, only when you absolutely need it, you won't have any problems.
I just wish I had it while in LOS

Dagul,
I have to totally disagree, as both the scenarios I mentioned involved the exact recommended dosage.
The recommended dosage of immodium IS dangerous if you have bacterial diarrhea.
And the recommended dosage is more than enough to paralzye the gut completely resulting in bad constipation for days. It won't happen with every single person, but it will happen in fair percentage of people. Ask any phramacist or doctor.

Damn. Looks like i'm not going to be taking any Immodium. I think i'll just take my chances with the shits.. Any recommendations for diarhea or the bacterial diarhea (bloody shit) What should I take for that? What should I avoid while in Phuket? I know i'm not suppose to brush my teeth with the water out there or use Ice. What else should I be cautious about

I travel the region including Cambodia, India, Laos etc and have had use Immodium on a number of occasions without a single problem. You can also carry Charcoal tablets, they work but not as well as Immodium. Look be careful with Water and you won't have a problem.

Don't forget the fire ball dinners 
Don't worry bro, you'll be fine -
X sounds like he knows what he's talking about - if your not comfortable with Immodium try "Pepto Bismal" (I think thats how you spell it).

Armanistyle,
don't let me put you off Immoodium completely. Try them by all means, just bear in mind you could be blocked for a week. They do work perfectly well for a lot of people. And if my choice was taking imodium or having the shits on a bus, train or plane... I'd choose the immodium every time! The constipation can be dealt with.
For bacterial diarrhea you will usually need antibiotics on prescription. BTW... you can have bacterial diarrhea without having blood in your shit. I didn't have bloody shits in Pattaya, but still had bacterial diarrhea.
Best thing to remember when you have the shits... be careful of dehydration. Salty snacks & sugary drinks. Or of you want to be really careful use ORS (oral rehydration somethingorother) sachets.
---------
(edited to add this bit)
OZ... you thought correctly!!;)

ORS = oral rehyrdration solution and they are available in every pharmacy (drug store, chemist etc) without a prescription. They are basically just a mixture of salt and sugar that you mix with water. You can make the do-it-yourself version easily enough, I just can't recall the ratio of salt to sugar... lol, and if you get it wrong you'll be puking big time.
