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?

Thank you for your reply.
After blood tests they found I had a bug probably from surgery, it’s in the intestines and bowel and is called C.Diff. It’s hard to kill, strong antibiotics. My stool was pretty much white, never seen anything like it. Since taking the antibiotics it’s the correct colour at present but I still go to the toilet to much. It’s very tough mentally and physically. Hopefully it will settle. Do other people get all this ??
