Stool samples

Absolutely you need to get checked for parasites. Why be afraid? Please insist on it. It is usually done by still samples.

No it started 10 years ago. But got worse. It was awefull. Now with the RX I can manage it. And yes I feel disappointed that no one caught it sooner. I had lots of tests and all were negative. So I had seen this forum and from there ichecked, googled read about others, then a aquantance told me about her issues and what her doc told her and bingo. My gastro gave me the RX and with the first dose I had relief. Imagine that

I am sure it is the over production of bile. But yes all sweetness ending in tol give me a belly ache and diahrea. Many people have that reaction. It is also used in preps for colonoscopy.

MAke sure you get checked for parasites. Where did you travel?

I take colestipol 1GM in am and one when I eat out or go out

Long story short I researched my similar issues, came up with over production of bile. I now take colestipol 1GM in am and one when I eat out or go out. Very frustating that not one medical proffesional could find a reason for my problem.

I have over production of bile. I also have problems unaware i soiled my self. I am now taking collestipol 1gm in am and if I go out I take another. My problem started 10 years ago. I had my gallbladder out 40 years ago. I hate jt. But the medicine helps. I also know what foods set me off. I had to do my own research and come up with the diagnosis. Very frustrating when doctors do not help. I am retired nurse had never heard of this condition. I wear pads when I go places. Always carry xtra stuff. But I am thankful for the meds. Maybe try and see if it would work for you . It can. Constipate though but I find that better then standing in the middle of a store with poop running down my legs. Also sorbitol, malitol etc causes diahrea. I hate this condition.
