Testing for Cdiff. Celiac disease. Irritable bowel syndrome. Food allergies. When’s the last time you had a colonoscopy? Polyps. The list is long with diarrhea. I take tums or antacids. Imodium helps. Too much coffee also.

Hello, I have the same chronic dirreah. It's been a problem for about five years. I've had two colonoscopys recently. Nothing the doctor could find that caused my symptoms. Now they call it IBS D. Currently they are giving me dicyclomine, diphenox/atrop, promethazine and loperamide hydrochloride for my symptoms . My doctor ordered every diagnostic procedure to determine the cause of my chronic diarrhea.
He could not locate the cause.
I'm sure I'm not alone in this
problem.
My doctor wants to do a second colonoscopy to see if he missed anything. My insurance will not cover a second colonoscopy.
This issue has made me a hermit. I do not go out of my house to anything but doctor appointments . Anyone have insights to this?

Thank you so much for responding! I love your perspective! Yes, thank goodness, no cramps or nausea... just an almost immediate warning after I eat...RUN!!!

EPI .have you tried probiotics?🧐

Yes, I've been taking florastor (sp?) 2 pills a day...

when i get diarrhea i stop eating any raw food for a few days.
it usually works.

bobcinem, my elderly aunt-in-law tried something I recommended, that a holistic MD recommended to me: MegaSporeBiotic. It worked for her twice, years apart. The first problem seemed to be CDiff. The second was unknown.
