I have had diarrohea since june 2012, Ive been prescribed Loperamide, which doesnt work. I had a Colonoscopy which showed nothing. I sometimes cant leave home for fear of accidents. any advice would be appreciated.
I had diarrhea for about a year and was put on a FODMAP diet. This worked brilliantly for several months then for no apparent reason the diarrhea came back. I then tried BRAT diet {bananas, rice, gluten free toast) which has improved things. Am currently investigating kefir. Hope this may help.
Hi. I realise that it's been quite a while since this post was written. Wigwam is spot on with the Kefir. If you grow your own (really easy, lots of Kefir shops online - add milk and leave for 48hrs initially for the first batch to make the full consumable version of Kefir) then leave it to populate until it is looking more like cottage cheese than thick milk. The thivker it is the better it becomes for curing diarrhoea. For those who have constipation, it helps to consume it at the thick milk stage which has a more laxative effect. I am work full time and have two young children and find growing my own the most straight forward and cheapest way to have kefir in my life. Good luck!
I'm off to investigate 'kefir', thanks.
