Sorry about the topic. Diarrhea

Anyways it started Wednesday night all through the night till morning. I ended up taking Immodium AD which controlled it till yesterday. Needless to say I've been in bed since 5 pm yesterday and my daughter asked me if I found a second home in the bathroom. It's not that bad, it's just the frequency and the aching tummy. Well today I got fed up and finally tried Kaopectate which seems to have helped for now, I just took it about 30 minutes ago. I don't feel like doing anything. I haven't eaten yet today, I am sipping on my SF Crystal Light juice. Can someone tell me this is normal and how long will it last??? I'm starting to go

Other than this I had been feeling great. Sorry again. Thanks, Michele

Doesn't seem normal, probably a viral thing. Hope it goes away soon. Did you have any sugar? Sometimes if I have something that has more than 10 gms of sugar, it loosens my bowels. But nothing to that extent. If the kaopectate or immodium doesn't help, call your doc. Dianne

Thanks Dianne. I was wondering the same thing. The Kaopectate seems to have worked for now. I haven't had anything with more than 4 gms of sugar, so I don't think its that. Michele

Doesn't sound usual to me either. I agree maybe a viral thing. I do know that crystal light sometimes will give me little bouts of diahrreah for some reason. Im a little more tolerant of it now but when I was first out of surgery I always did get diahrreah from the crystal light if I drank it. Maybe thats doing it?? Check with the doc though just to be on the safe side

Hope it goes away soon! Elizabeth M

Hi Michele A few days after I came home from surgery, I also got the "runs". I called the doctor's office and found out that in the beginning it is normal for us to either get the "runs" or get constipated. Mine has subsided. I discovered that mine only occurs if I drink something really cold. Needless to say, I am drinking hot herbal tea and the hot chocolate mixes from the doctor's office. Sure hope you are feeling better. Rose
