@mhi @wty2020 The loose stools, diarrhea problem is something I have to watch or try to control everyday.. I have Gastroparesis and then had 20 powerful radiation treatments Radiation Oncology... in the past couple years.. for that Prostate Cancer treatment the Oncologist inserted a "spacer" material between the prostate and the bowel... that space was really important to help minimize the diarrhea problem usually associated with the Radiation.. Then on top of that I had a sinus infection that needed an antibiotic.. My Primary Care Doctor prescribed the antibiotic and she prescribed the Boulardii Probiotic available OTC from the drug stores.... It was a saving grace... it really helped... On top of that a bacteriologist friend told me to drink Pedialyte.. the Electrolyte solution, keep hydrated he said.. I keep a stock of both now in my pantry... ready to spring in to action at a moments notice.. I have only had to use Imodium 1 time in the last month when all else fails.... I relate to the horror stories... but I got through that and things are much better with my arsenal in the pantry.. I have to use Gas X as well to help ... even have some Papaya Enzyme to help with the bloat on occasion.. Ken..
