So I have worked extra hard the last few days to eat those small meals and no or very little sugar. I always learn the hard way that’s just my personality lol. My poop is now normal sized normal looking except for the color it’s a little lighter.
I started making lots of protein meals like chicken breasts and steak nothing fancy with mashed potatoes. I store it in the frig and eat it for @2 days along with cottage cheese. I do well with cottage cheese and cut up melon too. It’s the small meals that are so important like everyone has been saying.
And after trying different things if I do eat after 7-8 pm anything bigger than a little snack I will get up at like 2-3 am to poop but no diarrhea yay! It’s normal now. So I am hoping this is the new norm and not a fluke. I am taking Imodium AD 3 times a day so that has helped settle things down and have been taking liquid antacids when I do stray and get bad gas or tums. I haven’t gotten any diarrhea or haven’t this week. So sending this out to encourage you all! There’s a light at the end of the tunnel! I do get out everyday and get lots of exercise whether walking jogging or riding my horse. Sometimes it’s just playing with the grand kids. Last night I got on their new trampoline which caused some gas as things were moving around apparently lol I did a seat drop and called it a day lol. Don’t give up keep fighting the good fight! 😘love all you guys.

Thank you for your very helpful reply. I haven't
tried the Immodium AD 3 times a day, only when I had diarrhea, so that is a very helpful hint. Not eating anyhting heavy after 7-8 PM is a good tip. Congratulations!!
