Do not worry I have it too, and with a good diet and proper medicine l’am Ok, I'm taking Elavil pills for depression, they calm the colon, I'm pretty good, it has taken me 6 months to adapt to this new situationbe, and be able to have a somewhat normal life.
First take (probiotics) ALIGN) take a capsule a day with food, you open it and take only the powder that goes inside, we talk about getting rid of the bad stuff (bugs and food sensitivities), not milk, You can also eat foods like kimchi, kombucha, miso, or sauerkraut.
Sometimes, you can also eat yogurt if you are not allergic to dairy. Try unsweetened sheep or goat yogurt. These are all foods that help your gut flora get and stay healthy. METAMUCIL FIBRE SUGAR FREE to help you To go to the toilet, take a spoon of tea a day, before eating it has saved me from being able to control the movement of the colon. Antispasmodic medications like belladonna, only if it hurts.

Vitamin A, zinc, omega-3 fats (fish oil), evening primrose oil, and glutamine all help repair the gut. We also use herbs like quercetin and turmeric to reduce inflammation and heal to leaky gut, grilled salmon, and little by little you can eat something else, you have to investigate it yourself, with patience and a diet, you can get to live a normal life.

Relax try to sleep, and good luck.
