Stress related IBS, how can I stop the runs?

I am taking probiotics, eating applesauce, taking fiber and imodium, pepto, and eating bananas. This is going on now for about 2 weeks, although I am getting long periods of time without the runs, finally got a good night's sleep last night. I am very fatigued.

Yesterday I made up a batch of sloppy joe... had a small sandwich with chips and a few dill chips and nearly immediately got explosive runs which went on for several hours. 2 imodium pills, pepto and prayer got it to stop, and got me through the night. I don't know what to do. Hopefully at some point this will stop. Afraid to eat at this point

Sounds like you may have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). Here is what I did that helped me.
I took several months researching the different foods that people with IBS found they could eat that helped their symptoms. Then using trial and error I began to cut things out of my diet to see if they gave me some relief. I kept records of everything I ate and every bowel movement and found out what helped and what caused problems. I started by cutting wheat and lactose out of my diet. There is a lot of information on the web and it takes time but you can figure out a diet that helps. One supplement that I take that helps is psyllium husk tablets. Prayer definitely helps. God bless you.
