I have 2ostomies. Food is a cautious area for me. I eat brown rice, appropriate fruit,peanut butter and Jif marshmallo. All in small amount. Wheaties for breakfast, dinner my husband is creative within guidelines. On my last visit to Dr. Connor Loftus (GI) at Mayo he came up immediately with 2 possibilities; microscopic colitits and small bowelovergrowth. His diagnosis was cleared by an immediate colonoscopy with 8 biopsies of colon tissue ( that was negative) . So, he started me on doxycycline for small bowel overgrowth. The diarrhea cleared up in 12 hours. I continued the med for 10 days. Note: while waiting for my annual appt. at Mayo I went to local doctors and not one mentioned either of Dr. Onnors’s diagnosis. He is sooo talented.
