I developed constant diarrhea a few years ago. I couldn't pass a gas station without having to run and use their bathroom. I was diagnosed with "microscopic colitis" The only solution was to take Imodium every day. It worked. A few years ago, I decided to change my diet. I cut out almost all cheese, except for goat cheese. I reduced the amount of meat that I ate and added more fruit and veggies. Then one day, I realized I hadn't been taking Imodium! So I recommend taking a good look at your diet. And it just might save you money as well. I have not become a "vegetarian or a vegan." I tell people I am working on it. I keep meat, especially beef, to a minimum by keeping it to a treat when I go out. I do not eat pork--haven't for years. If I can find it, I buy bison/buffalo hamburger.
