Frequency is down, maybe five times a day. It's actually painful, bloating me up and a few false alarms. Guess that's constipation. When I finally do go, it's still the explosive diarrhea.

Kinda down. This was supposed to be the last-ditch attempt.
 
Hey Ed, I am guessing you tried Questran? Others have mentioned Metimucil. Hopefully you are not narrowing. Never seems to be an ending eh?
 
The only thing that worked for me was codiene (15mg). It's known as "low dose codiene". Kind of old school and the doc that recommended it was probably about 70.

I remember when I was young, my mother was taking tincture of opium. Probbaly the same type drug, but I think codiene is eaiser to obtain.

Anyway, the codiene gave me my confidence and control back. I was afraid to venture far before.

Where I live (NJ), it is heavly regulated, no refills, and only 120 pills per month max.
 
So sorry that you are having such a lousy time, I hope that you find the right med soon.

Hi Joe
Do you mean Codeine Phosphate? I was given that in hospital and it stopped D in it's tracks!
Hope you are doing ok?

Hi Ed
Sorry you're having a rough time mucker, hope you find some relief soon, take care xxx
 
Ixnay on the codeine. My doc gave me Tylenol 3s yesterday to help control the back pain, but it gave me searing gut pains. Horrific gut pain.

The uncontrollable diarrhea continues unabated. Watery with no form at all.
 
I used codeine so much a few years back, I became deathly allergic to it. My doc wont prescribe anything stronger than codeine because he is afraid I will get hooked, so all I get is tylenol for pain. That really sucked a few weeks back.

Eat more bananas maybe? You prolly tried that too eh?
 
Had a really tough past six days. Finally was able to successfully eat (and pass) solid food today.

Felt almost as painful as a blockage. Had to take off work.
 
Hi Joan,
I think mine is Codiene Sulfate, but seems to be similar.

Hi Johnny,
Sorry the Tylenol 3s did not work for you. That is a pretty good dose of codiene. But, It sounds like you are doing better now.
