Looking for feedback regarding food or other things related to intermittent diarrhea issues. When I started having the urgent issues around 15 years ago, I was told by a Gastroenterologist to take Imodium AD since it wasn't chronic. Over the years, it's been pretty consistent so I am assuming it has to do with the removal of a portion of the colon.
Thanks for any insight!!
Most often caused by foods with sugar alcohols. Most of them end with itol like sorbitol. Use Imoodium or find a different product with no sugar alcohols. Bariatric foods and vitamins will often cause gas and diarrhea.
Most of us have issues with constipation and take something like Miralax top help with that. I have never been "normal" after gastric bypass and do believe the bypass is responsible.

I do a lot of water aerobics and just walking in the pool. I buy water shoes that have holes for the water to flow out. They are also good for walking in the sand.
Jen, your gym sounds wonderful and I am so glad you are Irvin are enjoying it.

Did you watch the All Star game Tuesday? We missed it. Still getting used to being off of cable.

Good Morning on this Friday-Eve! I am glad that you are enjoying the Y, it sounds like it gave you a boost in excitement to your workout routine. Today is a mixture of meetings and projects so it should fly by.
QOTD: Flip flops since they are easy to slip on and off
My menu is the same during the day and I haven't decided yet if I want grilled pork loin for dinner or if I want something else. Exercise done and water/vits are on track.
I hope everyone has a great day.

QOTD- Teva Sandals, they are great in the sand and easy to remove. Thank you velcro.
I just got back from PT, I really need to lower my desk because that is what is aggravating my wrist. I also ordered and upright mouse.
I need to get back to work.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning everybody!
Little Friday, I will take it. We got 3/4 couples on Happy Hour last night and it was great to see them. My son ended up making spaghetti and meatballs from the town butcher -yum! Of course I could not finish.
Today I am in the office and hopefully at the gym tonight. I'm feeling pretty good, but going to have to ease in for a few days.
This weekend, Marilyn is heading to Alabama with my youngest to move him out of his apartment since he is going to finish online. Then she is bringing a car down to Florida to keep it there. But she is bringing my son's back to Chicago, so we aren't gaining any space out of the deal.
QOTD: flip flops if I'm just swimming, but if I am wading to fish, I wear boots, light or heavy depending on the weather.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: meatballs
Have a great day, all!

Good mornin y'all.
Yesterday's appointment went well I guess. We'll see if they approve the CT scan. Fingers crossed. My doctor is retiring in 90ish days. I'm just hoping it doesn't delay treatment of anything. I don't know who I'll see next. Just annoying really. Today is the pain clinic.
My mom had another melt down last night. I was nearly in tears. Hopefully today'll be better.
I need to wash my bedding today and I don't know what else we'll do.
QOTD: if it's the lake I do water shoes. I stepped on a hook once and had to get a tetanus shot lol.
B: protein bar and coffee
L: chimichanga
D: ????
