No wonder your blood pressure is elevated! Mine would be, too, if I had to deal with medical “professionals” like the ones you have encountered!

If you are able to, please find another PCP. The one you have now is very insensitive, to say the least!

If you have diarrhea, enemas are not the answer. In addition to the BRAT (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast) diet, add some cheese (real cheese - not the processed kind) to your daily diet too.

Thank you. My situation is complicated. I have had multiple surgeries starting with a colon resection for a urostomy upon bladder removal (cancer). Several hernias developed along with a torturous colon. Then aggressive radiation when bladder cancer returned which burned my rectum. Then a sepsis scar tissue issue requiring life-saving surgery. Rectum has no strength and is overly sensitive. I've seen a nutritionist with some good advice but inner working/gut bacteria seems to have a mind of its own. I take tons of immodium then have to use an enema after a couple of days. Otherwise, it is just non-stop. Never heard of the BRAT diet. Sounds intriguing. I'll give it a try. Thanks for you help. I live in a small town and Kaiser PCP is on a rotation no never see the same one twice.

I have had chronic diarrhea for a year and a half. It is finally somewhat under control. Still no diagnosis. I finally got serious about taking psyllium husk. I kept going on and off, but it takes weeks of consistency for it to help. It at least thickens the watery diarrhea so that helps you to control it more. Hope this helps. I also started taking colestipol 2gm at night and am taking omeprazole 20mg for three months. I’m just starting to eat more vegetables. I eat mostly squash, carrots, and fennel. I have been eating mostly lean meat and carbs like rice and noodles to control things. Good Luck! I sounds like you’ve had a tough time of it.

thank you. I'll look into those meds. Could work for me.
My rectum is dysfunctional from aggressive radiation so I have no control of watery or soft.

I have had abdominal radiation, two small bowel resections, and many many small bowel obstructions. My gastro advises me to err on the side of diarrhea due to the obstructions. So I live with it, and have had to adjust my diet and my lifestyle. I have found that prescription Lomotil is more effective for me than Immodium. It is less constipating and doesn't cause the bloating I get with immodium. I also take amitriptyline at night that seems to help also. Best wishes and God bless you!
