diarreah

Not a very pleasant subject, but does interferon give you diarreah? If so, what do you do about it?

I had the runs for 3 days. I didn't take enough pepto.
Then I was O.K. with black stools for 2 days. Then I had the runs again this morning. But I have been up since 3 a.m. and I'm probably hyped up because of my upcoming retirement. It was a very big decision to make. Thanks for all your comments. I'm better now.

Black stools could mean a bleed somewhere in your body. Not trying to scare you but black stools are a symptom you need to tell your dr about immediately.
Goof: You have some kind of radar on the poop threads! Does an alarm go off on your computer when the words constipation, diarrhea, stool or poop pop up??

It's kinda like the joke about the thermos that can keep hot things hot and cold things cold.....added fiber can straighten out your bowel woes by regulating the speed of the flow through the pipes. It slows down the fast flows allowing the exccess moisture time to be absorbed, while speeding up the slow flows, getting the load out before it has tiome to solidify too far.

Maybe some added fiber would help regulate the flow of postings here.....
