Help.....Diarrhea!!!!

Hey folks, I am home doing OK except for diarrhea. I know this is not the best of topics, but I need help!.. This AM did not make it to bathroom..all over. This was when I woke up at 6.30. All day everytime I have to le****er, diarrea. What can I take or do? I have not been off the eating program. Also having hard time getting all my water in. Marla

Hi Marla, We are soooo glad that you are home and on the mend. Sorry to hear about your bowel problems. I think you should try to contact your dr.s office and see what they advise you to do. Don't wait, especially since it looks like you west coast folks might to dealing with Charley the not tuna. If you wait, you run the risk of becoming dehydrated and your dr.s office might close down due to the storm. Going back to the hospital is a rotten alternative. In the mean time, I am sending you healing prayers and asking God to relieve your problem. God Bless Deanna

TX Will call dr today. Hope he is in or at least someone on staff is around. Marla

Hi Sweetie...so gald you are home and on the loosing side. I saw Susan and Lori today and one thing Susan said was it was very common to have the runs after the surgery for some time. Don't feel bad, happened twice to me this week whenI was preparing for my EGD and colonoscopy I had on Monday. I took Advanced Imodium. Also have a prescription for Lomotil, same thing. I also have them on hand all the time wit IBS. They really work but with surgery I am not sure what you can and can't take. Welcome home!!!! PS, they both are cute as buttons...especially that little evershrinking butt, Lori. LOL

Hi, glad your EDG and Colonoscopy is over. I have always had problems with IBS. Spoke to Doc before leaving hospital. He said I ha only had problem once in hospital, so wait and see what happens as I go along. Will attempt to call him today. Marla

HEY MOM MARLA, so glad you are doing good other then the runs......no pun intended...I have missed you and will be thinking of you throughout today while I stay at home and go down with the ship during the storm........if things get to bad around me I am going to ship my kids over to their dads...he is in a higher drier place....take care and so happy you are home....luv ya April

Hey! Go to high ground! Dont take a chance. I have opened my house to several friends that live in trailers. I am not there, but thy needed a place to stay. It is block and with inter block walls so they should be OK. Take care of your self for your Mom Marla Mom

Marla, So glad you are home, we missed you around here but are so happy you are on the losing side now. I do agree with the others that you should call the doctor and get his advice. I dont know what your specific eating program is but I found out very early after surgery that my tummy reacted adversely to milk products and splenda too. It took me a while to figure that out, but once I did, I tweaked my food/beverage choices and didn't have those problems any more. Good luck Amy

Marla, Hey Sweetie!! I am so glad they finally let you go home!! In the hospital after I drank the warm tea I started having bowel movements which were all liquid. After the fourth one, Belinda my nurse, called the doctor who said that it was perfectly normal. And they haven't stopped. Just slowed down some. Are you having stomach pain with them the BMs?? Karee

Karee, so glad tea worked. No stomach pain with them. Ofcourse tummy is still sore. Hope you are doing well. Loaned my house out to some folks that live in trailer park. I wont need it !! Take care. Marla
