Thank you Luann, It's such a struggle! I used to get extremely painful muscle knots in my trunk due to loss of liquids and electrolytes with all the diarrhea, but now I know to eat corn chips after a particularly sweaty hike and my cramps have disappeared, thank goodness.

I've tried cholestyramine and Entocort plus various combinations of Pepto Bismol and Immodium for my chronic diarrhea. The only thing that lessened the frequency of the runs was Entocort. It helped put some form into the watery stools I'd have sometimes seven times a day. But the side effects of that steroid were intolerable. I've eliminated veggies and fruits cuz they cause pain and bloating and increased runs. I mostly live on white stuff. My dog and I are both on the chicken, rice and cottage cheese diet. "-\ Watery stools never vary. I usually glug down P.B. in the morning and take two Immodium at night cuz it makes me sleepy and also causes my heart to go out of rhythm if I take more. Can't win!!
