Chronic diarrhea after treatment: What helps?

I added Gasex which is working. RO suggested Metamucil and start with 1/4 Imodium and titrate up from there. I have been using Chia seeds as they absorb water well. RO's solution worked overnight until it didn't this morning. Looks like every 12 hours to start with. The awful thing about diarrhea is when you feel empty there can be left over stool in the rectum due to the bowels still working which gets one thrown off the island. 12 sessions to go and feeling wretched.

Don’t think the Docs know much more than we do when it comes to diarrhea. When my young cat had the squirts, the Vet said powdered pumpkin to absorb extra water…didn’t work, needed steroid. When he got plugged up, Vet said powdered pumpkin to absorb extra water and bulk up the stool…..didn’t work, needed different food.
I mean, how can the same supplement be good for constipation AND diarrhea?? But they read the same internet BS we do so there you go. Good luck with the rest of your treatments!
