Chrons and frequent diarrhea

My sister, who I am guardian for now, has chrons, she was haveing frequent diarrhea Dr. told her to take immodium, up to 8 per day.  So she did/  Well this really worked too well, ended injhospital for 54 days.  Now the diarrhea is worsed than ever.  She also has MS so getting the the bathroom in time is unthinkable.  Well you can imagine whay her bedroom is like, a mess.  Can't the smell out anymore, I am going nuts.  If this isn'r enough she was born with a learningf disability.  She is 58 yr.  At this point we just want the diarrhea to stop.  Her Dr. is of no help.  Please what natural thing can I give her to stop this.  Please help me.  I'm think of placing her in a convel. home. Will probiotices help, if so what should I get.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH Probiotics to get Inflammation down!
Your Sister's COLON IS SWOLLEN WITH BLOOD-INFLAMED!  Pressure is from the Inside of Tissue towards the Center of COLON which causes the BOWEL MOVEMENTS and discharge in Proctitis too,etc..   To understand this PRESSURE EXERTED by the blood in the blood vessels and tissue of colon, go and rent Eraser with Swarztnegger and pay attention to how the AIR pressure Inside the plane rushes to the outside where there is little pressure-THIS IS WHY SHE HAS SO MANY BOWEL MOVEMENTS!   GIVING HER ANTIdiarhea medication is putting her LIFE in danger.
GIVE HER CAYENNE PEPPER AND PAPAYA ENZYME CAPSULES ALONG WITH ANY ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUG THEY ARE GIVING HER TO GET THE VOLUME OF BLOOD INSIDE COLON TISSUE DOWN SO THAT LIQUID INSIDE COLON CAN MOVE INTO THE COLON TISSUE!    The PRESSURE EXERTED by the blood inside the colon tissue must be less than the pressure exerted by the liquid food inside the colon for water to move into the colon tissue.  This is how the colon works, and the odds are your Doctor doesn't know this so he keeps giving her antidiarhea meds.  

Do you Live near a Super Walmart?
Just go to the Vitamin section and find cayenne pepper and papaya enzyme or Bromelain!

Research supporting the USE OF Cayenne pepper for IBD and ESPECIALLY CANCER EXISTS JUST LIKE Research on Remicade or Imuran or Asacol!   Your sister has a 20 Times greater risk of colon cancer than normal people-I posted the Link last week just click on me to see posts.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/05/030501075502.htm

Drugs for Reumatoid Arthritis WILL BE Prescribed more often!
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080124173812.htm Garlic does the same thing to a lesser extent-google, AND I DOUBT YOUR SISTER OR ANYONE ELSE WILL HAVE COLON CANCER DEVELOPE LIKE THOSE REUMATOID DRUGS GAVE THE MICE IN THE STUDY.

For Cancer:
Cayenne pepper capsules WORK AND HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO KILL CANCER Especially prostate-google Hot Peppers Cancer.
Coffee HAS BEEN SHOWN to PREVENT COLON CANER just like any other drug out there approved by the FDA for anything.   Doctors Badmouth it because it keeps people healthy and Out the Doctor's office-only explanation.  

YOU HAVE HIGH SPEED INTERNET and WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT YOUR SISTER'S COLON LOOKS LIKE 1000'S OF VIDEOS ON gi PROBLEMS!!

I am NO Doctor but Appearantly I am more qualified than your doctor!

Why does your doctor have you taking Imodium since you have Crohn's?
YOU SHOULD NOT BE TAKING ANTI-DIARRHEA MEDICATION THIS IS DANGEROUS!
YOU CAN GET TOXIC MEGACOLON BY TAKING ANTI-DIARRHEA MEDICATION!
DO NOT TAKE BULKING AGENTS too these are bad!

Why NOT read some of my posts to see what I take for Inflammatory Bowel Disease?
Papaya Enzyme, Cayenne pepper, Garlic just google them to convince yourself
Research on Bromelain..
http://nccam.nih.gov/research/results/spotlight/070108.htm

You gotta get your Inflammation down so that you HAVE ONE BOWEL MOVEMENT every 24 hrs or so!   DO NOT TAKE ANTI-Diarrhea medication to try to achieve this!

IMPORTANT:  
The more inflammed your Colon is the SOFTER you will want your stool to be-or YOU WILL BE IN PAIN-so do NOT take anti-diarrhea medication this could lead to constipation which COULD BE DEADLY- toxic megacolon-WITH CROHN'S.    After You  get the Inflammation down, the Colon will work better by removing more and more water from the Liquid food and you will keep noticing that you go to the bathroom less and less.    

Get the Inflammation down
Take care!

My opinion:
Is that doctor practicing malpractice?   I don't know you make the call!
You having diarhea? Then your COLON IS INFLAMED AND SWOLLEN-NO REMISSION!
YOU GET THE INFLAMMATION DOWN THEN YOU HAVE ONE BM/DAY!!!!
YOUR SISTER SHOULD:
USE Cayenne pepper in Capsule form from Vitamin section..http://gut.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/52/5/713
USE Papaya Enzymes or Bromelain with meals or NOT
USE Coffee to prevent colon cancer and cayenne pepper to help KILL it-google!!!


NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALERT:  CANCER CAUSED BY INJURY!
INJURE your Skin by the sun you get skin cancer!
INJURE your Lungs with cigarrettes you get lung cancer!
INJURE your Liver with chemicals,drugs,alcohol you get liver cancer!
INJURE  your Throat or Mouth with heat from food You get CANCER at the Injury site!
INJURE your Organs with DRUGS and CHEMICALS you get CANCER OF ANY ORGAN!
INJURE your Organs WITH Bacteria or Virus your Organs get cancer!
INJURE your COLON WITH IBD you get CANCER SO GET INFLAMMATION DOWN BY ALL MEANS AVAILABLE-CAYENNE CAPSULES AND ENZYME CAPSULES TOO!

I DOUBT YOU'LL DO ANY OF THIS SINCE YOU PEOPLE THINK THE Doc has the answer when all he or she can do is Treat Symptoms with drugs that FAIL and may GIVE YOU CANCER-you still have the disease!

My Dear Friend,

I Am So Very Sorry That You Are Having So Much Worry And Stress Over Your Sister, I Know What You Mean When It Come's To The Doctor's They Are Not Much Help, First Of All This Is What I Would Do Is Change Your Doctor This Is Very Important... I Know This Is Going To Take Time.. But I Feel You Will Get The Help Needed.. Regarding Your Sister Trying To Stop Her Diarrhea, Is To Eat Little And Often Cut Out Food Like Cheese Milk, If You Do Use Milk Add Water, I Know Does Not Taste Good But Will Help, Cut Out Fryed Food, And Take Aways.. Fibre Diet Is A Must Here.. NO BIG MEAL'S Grill Everything.... Also After Eating Make Sure There Is A Toilet Near By, Most Of The Time When We Eat, Very Soon After We Rush To The Toilet But Its Too Late.. Its About Planning Everything Eat Every Four Hours (Little And Often) Make Sure There Is A Toilet After Food (Important) Make Sure You Have Plastic Sheets On Bed And Try And Get Yourself A Social Worker, That Way Sometimes You Can Have Time For You Even If Its Only For A Few Hours, But It Will Help Your Mood... If You Like Any More Advice Please Contact Me

I am so sorry to hear of your sisters troubles.  Diarrhea is one of the symptoms with chrons that is hard to stop.  Even when it is in remission.  Try lots of fiber.  This should bulk up the bm's.  If have found that if I eat a lot of fiber in a couple of days my BM's are much better.  Try the fiber bars or the cereals that are really really high in fiber, like fiber 1.  With fiber 1 you can add raisens etc and make it a snack, or add it to your other cereal.  Much better than eating in plain as cereal.  You can also make muffins out of it.

Good luck girl!
