I am 1 year post-op and have chronic diarreah.

This has really become a big problem for me. I regularly have 3 to 6 BMs per day. I also go through flare-ups where it is much worse than that. Right now I am having a major flare and have gone at least 12 times in the past 24 hours. I take acidolphilus and FiberCon everyday... this does help a little. Since this current flare I have also taken 3 Immodiums and it hasn't helped at all. I read someone's suggestion here that I try the BRAT diet - Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Tea so I will try that. I just sent hubby to the store to get bananas and applesauce (and also gatorade as I know I must be getting dehydrated... I hope that is okay on the BRAT) and I just ate some rice and drank some tea. I woke up in the middle of the night to go at least 3 or 4 times last night and tons of times today. My stomach is rumbling constantly. I REALLY need some suggestions! Please write back. Thanks!
