Hi Brachial6,
You'd written your post quite sometime ago. I imagine you are doing better now. I hope so. Just incase, I will briefly mention a protocol which can help with chronic diarrhea. First of all, it's very important to be sure there is no pathogen causing the chronic diarrhea. More and more a pathogen named c.difficile is a problem. It's important to seek medical attention. I had done some research a few years ago on this problem. I found a doctor specializing in chronic diarrhea in people living with HIV. He had suggested: Imodium AD tablets and the use of Citrucel tablets. Take 1-2 Citrucel tablets with each meal, which will help to form a more solid bolus. Imodium will help to stop the diarrhea. Do not eat dairy while trying to stop the diarrhea. I have suggested this protocol to several people. They had ongoing diarrhea for varied reasons. Mostly, their bowels had gotten into a pattern and had continued on. This protocol had interrupted the pattern and had "normalized" their bowel function within a week or so. While many medical people suggest a BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apples, tea), the BRAT diet has not proven helpful in any studies. I have found a diet of rice (white or brown) and lean protein most helpful with the above mentioned protocol of Imodium and Citrucel. Most people I have seen do this protocol have gone back to their usual diet within 5-10 days. It's important, in my own humble opinion, to also add a probiotic. I hope this is helpful to someone reading this thread. Love All Around,

Hi Brachial6
You have my sympathy on the diarrhea issue. I had a chronic case after an appendectomy and the accompanying antibiotics. Due to an autoimmune condition I have to take steps to avoid getting chronic diarrhea and I can back up Deja Vu's suggestion re probiotics. That's my first line of defence. I take either LactoBif by California Gold Nutrition or PB8 by Nutrition Now - both available from iherb. The PB8 is much stronger (14 billion CFU) - it's so effective I suspect it tends to cause the opposite ie: constipation - if taken daily when the digestive tract is functioning healthily - so I use it less frequently but it's great for stopping an onset and good against candida. The LactoBif (5 billion CFU) is more tolerable for every day gut maintenance. I hope this may be helpful although the cause of my diarrhea is different to yours - all the best for finding a workable solution. |

My problem was solved with Metamucil! Per my physician, I needed more fiber!
You were right! Thanks for all you do for this site! |
