Constant diarrhea, weakness, exhaustion.

Bless your heart!! Never give up!! You have so much to live for!! You are precious in the eyes of God and to those who love you!! Proverbs3:4 So thou find favor and good understanding in the eyes of God and man (doctors!!) Isaiah 53:5 By His stripes we are healed..1Peter2:24 By His stripes we were healed..I have issues (not as complex as yours) and have been standing in faith for about 5 years.. today I wanted to give up.. but winners never quit and quitters never win..I am praying for you!!

I feel same as you !
I’m 11 years into 6-7 chronic digestive disorders . I don’t get one day break ! It’s getting worse each year .
Now my heart ♥️ pvcs are kicking up w/ it .
I can barely eat anything, everything makes me sick or run to bathroom 🚽 like you .
I’m on my 6 th Gastro Dr.
Did many colonoscopy’s and endoscopy’s and about every other test . Even waited 8 months yo do 3 tests at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville campus in 2021.
Tried everything holistic too and diet wise . Functional medicine, you name it .
It robs you of all the joys of life .
You are so young to be going through all this too !!
Please seek out a second opinion or third . My newest Gastro is 1 by 15 min away but , she’s not much help at all .
I’m going to be doing the pill cam next . It can see more by taking 1000’s of pics . Google it. .
Ask for it .
Have you had colonoscopy yet ?
Oh Lord , this isn’t an easy journey. Keep us informed. Ok .

I've never had a colonoscopy. So this will most deff be interesting. Can't wait....

Have you seen your GI Dr yet? I've been thinking about you and was wondering if you found out any information, yet ?

I have not. Not until October 8th. Great....I had tonwait a month from the time of setting up my appointment til I actually got in. The hospital in my hometown is awful.

I’m afraid to say that medicine in the US is awful. From my point of view, the US health system is broken. It doesn’t matter if you are in a small town or a big city. Everything seemed to be ok when I needed a regular annual check up. But it’s different with chronic illnesses.
Once you see a doctor, they run the usual tests and by the book it is one or another thing. Then, if you don’t improve with medication (palliatives) they tell you “there’s only so much medicine can do.”
Having diarrhea can mean many things, from my experience.
The bottom line, I have learned that diet is a big factor in everything health related. With my diarrhea crisis almost every month (I ve been diagnosed IBS) I stop every food, drink a lot of fluids. After my third visit to the toilet, I take 2 Imodiums, after my next episode I take 1 Imodium, I drink very warm camomile, and I put heat on my belly. After feeling better I start with 1/2 cup of chicken soup. If after that I have another episode, after the soup, I take my 4th and last Imodium for the day. Then I eat 2 to 4 tbsp of cooked brown rice. It usually stops until the following day, when I start eating one thing at a time, then I can id what is causing the problem. Then until probably a week and all over again. In my case it’s apparently the IBS. I follow a low FODMAP diet and gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free diet. When I get to see my Gastro doc, same thing, follow diet, reduce stress, take Dyciclomine (that helps but the side effects are not good). I have weekly psychological therapy to manage the stress. But I still get sick every month. Now I’m seeing a functional doctor. Apparently the imbalance of my gut bacteria may be causing the symptoms. I’ve been prescribed several supplements, but once again I get sick. This time I’m going to observe myself after having 4 tsps of coconut yogurt and have a banana. Let’s see.

Hi, did your Dr. check for microscopic colitis? He has to take a biopsy of the colon because it can’t be seen with just a normal colonoscopy. I have microscopic colitis and it causes severe diarrhea. The medicine that’s usually prescribed is Budesonide. Thanks. I hope this helps.

Yes she did , during the last colonoscopy in Mar , took a few biopsies. Negative.
Just put in my PCR stool sample to lab .
Also did endoscopy during colonoscopy.
Next is pill endoscopy.
I’m diagnosed with 6-7 different chronic illnesses ( gastrointestinal) . Plus chronic fatigue and PVC’s . Everyday I’m sick . I tried all different RX’s , over 20 different supplements, holistic Dr’s , elimination diets , you name it .
It’s 10 th year . Getting so much worse last 2 years. Not a day off .

So sorry to hear you’ve been through so much. I pray that things get better for you.

Thank you , it probably won’t as no one can help me at this point . I’m only getting worse.
I’m in therapy to learn how to cope with chronic illness. I just had 1 session so far .
It’s hard to get through these days and years . Not much of a life ( I feel bad for hubby as I can’t do much outside house ).
He retires in 2 years. Works remote 2 days and 3 at office.
I’m home alone w/ my dogs and on my phone texting a lot .
It can get lonely esp being sick 🤢 and fatigued.
My kids are 2 hrs south so we don’t see that often . They are busy w/ homes and work .
Thank you 🙏
