Diarrhea Question
by diarrheaguy, May 03, 2008 12:31AM
Hi,
I'm 26 years old, normal blood pressure and health, have kidney stones, and I have been having problems with diarrhea for over a year now. I have seen 4 different specialists and they all have concluded IBS. I have had multiple colonoscopies recently (not fun), an endoscopy, more stool cultures than you can shake a stick to, blood tests....the works. NOTHING has shown up on any of those. Patterns I have noticed: the diarrhea goes away when I get sick (if I have a cold, I'm fine in the bowel end of things) and I have more problems after eating fast food. I have soiled myself trying to make it to the bathroom several times and have gone in public (both VERY embarrassing). I have no idea what to do next. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank-you!

Consider taking a look at the connection you're noting between fast food and the bowel issues. If those foods contain a high fat content, it may be you're not processing fats well. Fat problems can be related to gallbladder and/or celiac issues to suggest only two. Those with IBS also experience what you're describing and many find that they have to modify their diets to help themselves.
