Diarrhea

Just wondering if any of you are having a problem with diarrhea? I get it at least 2-3 times a week and it is severe? Seems like it has gotten worse in the last month. Thanks, Pat

Pat, Me too! I dont know what's up, but almost every other morning I am rushing to the bathroom. I was wondering if it is the protein shakes? Are you having those. It seems like the min. I take a couple of drinks I am running. Rhen

i'M A YEAR OUT NOW. BUT IN THE BEGINNING I HAD AN ISSUE WITH DIARRHEA. IT'S MUCH BETTER NOW. THE FIRST FEW MONTHS WERE A LITTLE TOUGH. I HAD IBD BEFORE SURGERY. I STILL DO BUT IT IS MUCH LESS FREQUENT NOW. I DO HAVE A SWEET 1-2 TIMES PER WEEK. I DID NOT EAT ANY SUGAR FOR THE FIRST FEW MONTHS AFTER. ARE YOU LACTOSE INTOLERANT? THIS MAY ALSO CAUSE YOU SOME DISTRESS. HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER! BARB

I am not drinking protein shakes and I am not lactose intolerant. I know I get sick if I eat something that has very much fat content. I don't eat fried food or very high fat content because it also makes me throw up. I had IBS before surgery and I am taking medicine again for it. Thanks for your answers. Pat

Pat, I totally sympathize.......I get it a few times a week too.....sometimes for no apparent reason.....I do get up extra early now to make sure I have time to go in the morning before getting into my car for the commute. Sometimes I find myself pawing at the bathroom door to get my BF out so I can go......I had to explain to him early on in the relationship that when I have to go, I HAVE TO GO! That was an embarrassing topic! No advise here.......I have not had much luck with my own situation! Laura 300/200/150
