QOP - not being nosy - but have you ever been diagnosed or treated for IBS? I have the misfortune of having flareups of it, and when I do, I take Bentyl and it's cleared up almost immediately. Just a thought, but maybe your doc has already ruled that out?? I know how unpleasant living in the john can be!
The GI doctor said it seems to be IBS, gone way wrong. I have the issue every day, day after day. I am afraid to leave the house. If I do have to go out I get up 3 hours earlier to ensure I'm done in the bathroom before I go. Being over 40, having diahrreah every day and losing weight can be a number of problems so that's what he's hoping to find.
