In the last year I have went from someone who could eat almost anything and really enjoyed food, to no appetite and unable to digest most food. I just recently explored if polygrip could be the culprit to find out about the Zinc. When I looked up the symptons of Zinc poisoning, the first thing listed was digestive problems, including diarreah which I now have up to 15 times a day. Any help on this would be appreciated

I have many of the same problems you described. I started having these symptoms about 2 or 3 years after I started using the cream. I developed kidney stones a few months after I started using the cream, and gall stones about 8 years later. I also went into a severe depression just afterward and have been struggling with it ever since (going on 7 years now.) I'm always weak and lethargic, and sometimes sleep way more than I should. The lethargy is so bad that I haven't been able to work at times. The stomach problems have also hindered my ability to live a normal life. I don't know if any or all of my problems could have been caused by the cream, but could it be possible?
I did some research and it seems that zinc overdose can cause a copper deficiency, and one of the symptoms of copper deficiency is chronic diarrhea. So that is a definite link. Google "copper deficiency" for more information.
