@pb50, and all...Hello, my friend. I had diarrhea for years, often hitting me suddenly and always when under stress. Not a good thing to deal with and tough on the body. I'm sorry you're dealing with this...

I used Lomotil regularly as needed. And do now if it occurs, rarely.

A wonderful doctor at Mayo Florida told me to try a probiotic that's for colon support. I was taking a probiotic from the drugstore, but this one is very different. It's Probulin, a colon support supplement. I buy it online now at the Probulin website, also available on Amazon, but I prefer not to use Amazon when possible.

This was a life-changing day for me! I will always be thankful for this doctor. This probiotic helped me almost immediately. I was amazed at the fast improvement and the extent of the improvement. From the first days I took Probulin, my gut was happier, my diarrhea was under control and I began living a very different life. I do occasionally have loose stools depending on my diet, as I'm sensitive to milk products, but I'm now 76 and eat a controlled diet for my overall health.

Several months ago, I began having constipation issues due to taking an iron supplement for low ferritin in my bloodwork and anemia. I saw a Mayo hematologist who put me on a different iron supplement and I have far fewer constipation issues. I also now use Milk of Magnesia regularly which is gentle and easy on my system and works well for me.

Yes, I went from years of diarrhea to a couple of years of constipation with occasional diarrhea. Fun! But, that was due to my system and my iron issues, not to the Probulin. I suspect most folks will not have that experience. I highly, highly recommend this product.
Check with your gastroenterologist and take one capsule every night at bedtime. Your gut, your body, YOU will be grateful!

Blessings as you walk this journey...Elizabeth
