Diarrhea side effects from the Big 3

Posted by machelp @machelp, Jan 28 6:41pm

I began taking the big 3 in mid-December and am also on Arikayce treatments daily. My main side effect is frequent diarrhea, and I also feel very weak. My ID physician prescribed anti-diarrhea powder, but the diarrhea only subsided slightly. I am at the point where I have to wear Depends, which has put a hold on my marital love life. I want to be cured of the MAC, but is this treatment worth it? I have a virtual appointment with my ID physician tomorrow. Please help me!

Lori-
Good sites listed.

I had been and have been eating most all the foods etc. mentioned on the sites, however, some good other combination recipes shown. I do apples somewhat like the banana recipe and want to try rolling the banana with my chia seeds and other seeds plus walnut flour and milled flaxseed.

Lori,
You can't possibly know how much I appreciate your suggestions and support. I will definitely check out the online recipe sites you listed. I always try to cook healthy foods for me and my hubby and am always open to new healthy recipes to try.
And, yes, my son is definitely a keeper! He is such a good son to his mommy and is a wonderful husband and father. I am truly blessed!
