You have yourself so worked up over this ordeal that your emotional state may be contributing to it. Could you at least get some high protein drinks like Boost or Ensure. You could get nutrition drinking them. Some even contain fiber.

I know you are teetering between frustration and despair. I really, really know. Until my colitis got a name and a treatment, I could not leave the house and was incontinent on multiple occasions, crying in the shower after cleaning everything up.

But at some point you have to grab control of those emotions. Take the Metamucil and Imodium and keep yourself nourished and hydrated. These things work over time better than they work right away. So think of it as a treatment regiment and realize that relief will come.

The CT shows that from a surgical point of view, your treatment was successful. Not that many years ago we would all have died of our maladies. You have a tough recovery from a miraculous surgery - but when you do you recover, will have life. So…
Eat the bananas, eat the yogurt, eat rice and eat dry toast, drink pedialite and ensure, and take the Imodium and Metamucil. Rail against the injustice of your illness, thank the Gods for your surgeon, And do something to occupy your time and mind between bathroom visits.

I promise you there’s an end to this. ❤️‍🩹

Hello @andoman,

This kind of diarrhea that you describe is exhausting and discouraging. I hope you have some liquids with electrolytes, like Gatorade or Pedialyte. You do want to avoid dehydration. Stay away from any products with milk for the time being,

If you continue to have problems, please talk to your doctor or go to urgent care or the ER to check on your electrolytes and perhaps get an IV to help you.

Will you post later today and let me know how you are doing?

Hello @andoman

As it has been a few days since you last posted, I am hoping that you are feeling better. When it's convenient, will you post an update?
