Chronic diarrhea after treatment: What helps?

Have you considered getting a Stool Culture done, this way you/Dr will become aware what type of bacteria or Virus is present ( it takes 3/4 days) ... This is the recommended path. ( if there is virus then you need antibiotics to be prescribed)
What ever happens...key thing is not to get dehydrated.. so suggest you maintain your electrolytes (Pedialyte or Gatorade)
Follow that diet that is diarrhea friendly your PCP should get involved and take you to the next step if this doesn't stop or getting better within 3 days

Radiation diarrhea is different than viral. I told the RO about it, and he described the exact symptoms I had. It includes urgency with small minnow size stool and bowl incontinence where you can't make it 20 feet to the can. I've completed 16 of 25 sessions and miserable. Onward!

Appreciate your comments , my radiologist says it’s common for some, my pc 2 days ago put me on oxytocin chloride 5 mg , seems to be working already only had one attack last night instead of 3 but one side effect is a rash on legs which drove me crazy until I put sarno on it , I feel like a walking pharmacy
