Does anyone have chronic diarrhea?

EPI .have you tried probiotics?🧐

Yes, I've been taking florastor (sp?) 2 pills a day...

I’m so sorry you’re going thru this. Did he check for cdiff or Sibo along with celiac and dairy intolerances? If there is a Wellness Way or other integrated medicine clinic near you I would perhaps consider one of those. They will do stool sample studies and other tests to look for a variety of potential causes. They found mycotoxins in mine including mold and sure enough we located black mold hiding in the corners of the basement. From there they put together a supplement plan to try and help improve the good bacteria in my colon. You can also check out Thorne’s website and Genova diagnostics. You can purchase your own stool kits to check for food sensitivities, parasites, mycotoxins, etc. Infectious Disease in your clinic may be another option. I’ve been battling cdiff for seven months stuck close to home with chronic diarrhea and can relate. Good luck I pray you find answers and relief.

when i get diarrhea i stop eating any raw food for a few days.
it usually works.

thanks! I'll give it a try!

Have you been tested for microscopic colitis? Depending on your type/severity of D might be worth asking your doctor about this.

no. i never heard of this before. although i see that i have a lot of these symptoms imodium and no raw foods clear it up. i have celiac disease and a weak gut.

bobcinem, my elderly aunt-in-law tried something I recommended, that a holistic MD recommended to me: MegaSporeBiotic. It worked for her twice, years apart. The first problem seemed to be CDiff. The second was unknown.

To me diarrhea is a mostly liquid discharge. I don't have that .What I do have is excessive bowel movements, up to twenty or more a day. These have been since the reversal of my ostomy bag that I wore for about two months after colorectal cancer surgery on May 31 of 2024. Most if not all of my rectum was removed since that is where the cancer was.
My output is soft solid waste. I keep track of the number of bowel movements since I started have WAY two many. six to eight a day is normal, but my high so far is thirty. That was about three weeks ago, from 3 AM until 11 PM that night, about 20 hours. Currently I've had 19 yesterday, Wed Feb 12 and another 26 so far today (it's currently about 9:30 PM), Thursday Feb. 13. I have doubled up tonight on my immodium anti-diarrheal Hoping it doesn't cause unforseen problems. I have had enough of this nonsense and realize there are NO support groups for this! I feel like I'm the only one in Denver Co. so affected, and probably am.

Best of luck to you,

Dealing with diarrhea can be caused by so many things. Cdiff or parasite infections. Bacterial. Then there are food allergies. Celiac disease. You do not specify stomach bloating, ache, upset, gas, etc. Nor how long after you eat does this occur. I would start with basics with stool sample for testing. See what comes up.
