Hi.

I would love to hear of any suggestions that would help me.. I have been having diarrhea off and on since Thursday.. My stomach is just so "blah". I have tried immodium to no relief.. I know if I eat to many carbs I get diarrhea. 

What works for you?

Thanks

Going gluten-free is the way to go! All breads/pastas/everything with white or wheat flour gives me horrible diarreha. 
Also, I've become lactose intolerant so if I have milk then my diarreha/gas is hooooooooorrible!!!!

Amy, I think I am the same as you. I have been on my own gluten free diet for 2 weeks. I feel 100% better. No gas or bloating at night. I am however seeing a GI doc about it. I'm thinking about starting back with my regular diet that included 100% whole wheats incase he wants to test for any diseases. What do you think?

Eliminating the starchy carbs will help a bit, but if it's bad bacteria that's built up, you may need a round of Flagyl to kill it off, then repopulate with a good probiotic.  To help firm up your stools get some chia seeds.  They worked wonderfully with me.  I just dump a spoonful in my mouth, wash down with water, and take another 1 or 2 spoonfuls.  You can take them 3-4x a day.  You can get chia seeds at health food stores or order them online.

 I'm guessing a bacterial imbalance if it's not going away when you eat better.  Try introducing probiotics, either by pill or by eating yogurt or drinking kefir.  It makes a huge difference.
