Constant Diarrhea

Posted by suzanne2 @suzanne2, Jun 17, 2020

Anyone here have constant diarrhea? I practically live on lomotil pills. I know my nerves play somewhat of a role but not always. Some days I live in the bathriom.
I have never had a diagnosis for my problem.

Bless You. Have you tried over the counter Imodium? It works great for diarrhea. Praying as this has to be miserable for you.

Feel very sorry for you, this has happened to me-mine started when I started taking Magnesium supplements because I have a huge Mg deficiency, I still take an Immodium tablet with breakfast every day so I am suggesting you start on these, you can purchase them over the counter but my Doctor prescribes - good luck- feel for you!

I've had chronic diarrhea for a year and 2 months. I've been seeing a gastroenterologist since December 2020. I've been tested for celiac, c diff, crohn's, diverticulitis, colitis, and pancreatitis. I had a colonoscopy in January with nothing showing, and biopsy not revealing micro inflammation.

I sought gastroenterology help after imodium quit working. I've been on Cholestyramine, xifaxin, Creon, and Lomotil, all with no effect.

I'm going to get a second opinion at a different clinic soon. I feel like the current gastroenterologist is just throwing pills at me to see if anything works. I really want to get to the bottom of why this is happening, not just band aid pills. It's been suggested that this is all because of stress. I'm seeing a counselor to help with that, but so far no relief. Actually my condition is stressful in itself. I have to bathroom map, and it's affecting my relationship with my husband. I'm desperate for answers. Anyone else have this with the absence of all the regular gastro/digestive diseases?

I have the same problem! Not liquid, but numerous small or larger pieces, anywhere from 3 to 6 times per day. I had a kidney transplant 11/29/23 and still take 10 meds/day which may contribute? Most of my poops are in the morning, and if have many shopping errands, I will wear depends to be safe. This seems to be my new normal.
