I don't have diarrhea, but I do "go" a lot, 5-8 times a day. The past few times I went to donate blood, I was turned away b/c my hemaglobin levels were low. When I added an iron tablet, my system slowed down quite a lot (just 2-3!). I imagine if you weren't in your/my situation, it would be pretty badly constipating. For me, it gave me more freedom to step away from a bathroom.
FWIW, I see a gastro doc in a few weeks. I think my digestive issues are related to all the medications I take, but maybe it's not.
