chronic diarrhea

Posted by emstorm @emstorm, 6 hours ago

I have chronic diarrhea. My MD said there is nothing he can do because of my multiple abdominal surgeries. I am desperate for guidance on how to live with this condition. I requested help from my PCP and she said I need to make peace with my problems. I filed a grievance and was told they would respond in 30 days. I called and they said they would reply in 48 hrs. (has not happened). My blood pressure is extremely high. I don't know what OTC meds to take, how to manage my diet, enemas, exercises, etc. I am going crazy and need help.

No wonder your blood pressure is elevated! Mine would be, too, if I had to deal with medical “professionals” like the ones you have encountered!

If you are able to, please find another PCP. The one you have now is very insensitive, to say the least!

If you have diarrhea, enemas are not the answer. In addition to the BRAT (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast) diet, add some cheese (real cheese - not the processed kind) to your daily diet too.
