I do not remember the names of all of them. I know a few were anti depressants. The one I am on now that works 95% of the time is Lomotil (sp?). It's to stop the loose stools. I have also been put on multiple antibiotics in the beginning because they thought it was an infection. The only ones that helped were the Lomotil, which I continue to take. I am 28 years old.

Maybe you need some vitamin B12. Because of my Crohn's I have trouble absorbing it and when my levels are low I feel the same way. I take a 1000mg shot every four weeks and it really helps!

For the loose stools I take colestid, which is actually for high cholesterol, but by binding the extra bile that my body doesn't use it really works to make things more solid.

Do you take anything for appetite? I'm so tired of battling this everyday!

No, but the vitamin B12 helps with that. Also if you have loose stools Iron is suppose to help with both of those.

You should ask your doctor, even your family doctor, just to check your blood for any vitamin deficiencies.

Thank you Amber. I go back next week and will ask him about this. Just frustrating and seems like you can never get a straight answer from the doctors.

What are the side effects of colestid? I have been taking Lomotil and the side effects are really starting to get to me.

No side effects for me!
