pooped out

[onery]

Thank you for the opportunity to ask questions. I have been very unsuccessful in getting relief from my Gastro Dr. or my general. First off I had colon cancer in 1987 and was lucky enough to have a resection with no chemo or radiation. The tumor was in the transending section. After the surgery I was able to eat most anything as long as I didn't eat too much at one time. In year 2001 I was given some salsa that was quite hot but not as hot as I have had and the next day I was bleeding, not from wiping but had fresh red blood on the paper. I never had blood again but since that day I have had regular diarrhea with mucus,alka-setzer like bubbles, and yellow stool/diarrhea. Dr. of gastro had stool checked and had a colonoscopy, Polyps(benign) were removed and stool sample was apparently okay. He told me to eat more fiber and smaller meals. They have both helped. I now have more good days than bad, but routinely every 5-6 days it all comes back. Shakey and sweaty hands and very fatigued after my trips to the bathroom. I do excercise and think I have been noticing that strenuous excercise, particularly stomach excercises, seem to bring on the miserable yellow stool. It lasts till late morning or so or until it seems I am empty. I take no pills and don't drink at all as it bothers the problem too. I have no disc between L5 and S1 if this can aggravate but all Dr.'s have said 'no'. Sorry for the long note but I am a troubleshooter by trade and know the more info you have the better. If anyone can help with a solution I would be forever grateful. To those also suffering, the most relief I have had and quick was accupuncture but it hasn't 'cured' but only relieved the symptoms. Thanks for your time.
