shortiseltzer,
My reply has some jest.🤪
Be happy you have diarrhea and weight loss vs chronic constipation and weight gain. The doctors have no problem blaming the patient, for everything, when there is weight gain involved. Diarrhea trips can count toward your 10,000 steps a day.🥴
The best foods for diarrhea, nausea, and constipation are- 3 saltines, followed by sips of 7-up.
Bland- is perfect for food and whatever your gut is telling you.
A journal was suggested by another member (I'm sorry I forgot your name). Track everything, going in, coming out, 💩💩description. See if you can connect a food, to a time of day, to resulting symptoms. Also track meds .I have been doing this for 17 years , it has provided me with some connections. A secondary benefit of the journal is, you can prove to YOURSELF and doctors that you are indeed in pain.
I know you are in pain and distress and it 👿👎🏼🤬. You are definitely in a great forum to learn and share. I hope you get answers and relief soon.
Good Vibes coming your way, ShelleyW

Thank you for your reply. My name is Tonya. Yes, I would rather have diarrhea than constipation, as it can become very serious. But it still affects my daily life. Lol on the trips counting as steps. I will definitely start a journal as many members suggest. I am very happy I found this forum in hopes of not feeling alone in this unfortunate journey.
