Hi, I have Crohn’s disease, and the surgery that removed part of my colon along with my ileocecal valve. I have chronic diarrhea which there is not much that drs can do. Thru a chronic Urinary tract infection and irritation of the bladder, I went on a eating plan that eliminated preservatives, additives, acidic foods and low and behold, the belly pain left, it slowed the diarrhea down and I just felt better! I still need to take maybe one Imodium tablet a day. If I’m not going anywhere the next day, I skip the Imodium to see how I do. I’ve also started taking L-Glutamine capsules daily. I take a low dose but it’s shown to help the gut lining. I look on the Mayo Clinic site for info or the NIH.gov to see the studies.
I tried Viberzi and the VSL3 and they both made me sick. With Viberzi, I threw up and with VSL3, I had cramping and diarrhea. I don’t do well on fiber and that because of my surgery and scar tissue.

Everyone is different so I wish you well with what works for you. You just have to be your own advocate because drs are always learning too!
