Diarrhea for 75 days now.No pain,bloating,loss of appetite or weight,etc.etc. Am scheduled for 1st colonoscopy next week. 2 stool tests & blood work all negative. Am almost 68,diabetic ( good sugars ) on 40 units insulin nightly. Am really worried. Have searched web ad nauseum & doesn't sound good,even though pain is usually felt in most cases.Female with no family history of any of this.
Have you been eating any foods like lettuce, red sauce, hot sauce or hot peppers that could be disrupting your digestive system?
Please make sure you are tracking your intake of food and fluid. Keep a journal so that you can share it with your doctors. "Blood work negative" doesn't really describe your electrolytes and serum levels - I'd be more concerned about malnutrition and dehydration right now.
Is your stool truly liquid, or is it sand-like with some mucus?
