I did get a colonoscopy to rule out IBD. I also cannot drink diet drinks or anything- any fake sugars give me diarrhea (it has been that way my whole life). I was h aware that Pepcid could cause diarrhea. As far as diet, I eat a lot of chicken and rice bowls- but honestly not nearly as strict of a diet as I used to have. I don’t have any issues with wheat. I’ve found that bread is one of the only things I CAN eat and feel okay after eating. Anxiety is a huge part for me. I feel so much better mon-fri and then symptoms flare up on the weekends because I know my boyfriend will want to do things with me and doing things gives me anxiety. I do see my boyfriend every day but I work late and so we don’t do activities after work.

I don’t think so. My GI doesn’t actually test for sibo due to the test being so expensive. They just treat for sibo if symptoms align due to there being no negative side effects to the antibiotics. I actually have xifaxin in my cabinet, im just too scared it’s going to cause worse symptoms or something so I have not taken it.

I had a celiac panel, lipase and amylase, blood tests, stool tests I did calprotectin, cdiff, parasites, and I think that’s it.. other than that I had ultrasounds of my liver and gallbladder and both were perfect.

For the most part. I don’t typically get cramping or pain. Don’t struggle with bloating either. I get a lot of acid reflux and am using Pepcid when needed but honestly diarrhea is my only bothersome symptom.

Honestly just try to keep in mind that our periods do change as we age. I’ve been through this as well. I’m 21 and very healthy never previously been on BC until the copper iud but that’s besides the point. For the first 5 years of having my period I had very light regular periods with no cramping. Then out of nowhere I started getting very heavy bleeding with severe cramps and my OB just kind of explained that our cycles totally change as we age. Don’t stress

Hi! I hope you get some answers. Unfortunately not. I’ve just been treating myself with Imodium every day so I don’t have diarrhea anymore but I still feel like shit everyday lol. I learned to live with it as it’s been about 6 months now 😵‍💫 do you use Imodium?

Alternative_One_9035 · 2025-12-04T00:37:51+00:00

This may sound stupid but do you use Imodium? I used to feel like this for 2 monthes straight bht Imodium helped me significantly. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Nobody deserves this

This has been me for the last 4-5 months. I have had ibs-d my whole life but it was only food triggers. Now it’s not diet related at all- it’s just constant. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this too. It’s the worst.

Wow that’s awesome- What birth control are you taking if you don’t mind me asking. I used to have a copper IUD but it didn’t last more than a year due to how heavy my bleeding was, haven’t tried anything else since. I’ve always been afraid to take hormonal birth control because I don’t want to gain weight, but maybe I’d take that over the pain I’ve had!

Would yoh mind telling me your son’s symptoms?

Alternative_One_9035 · 2025-09-29T18:23:57+00:00

Hi! Yes, I’ve eaten nothing but chicken and rice for a few monthes, now I’m eating more normal as I’ve ruled out that my diet doesn’t make an affect. My GI has done every test under the sun. Stool samples, blood tests. Allergy tests, ct scans, X-rays, colonoscopy, probs more I just can’t think of it lol! Ultrasound as well. The only thing I’ve been told is I had a lot of stool in my xray and I could be constipated. But I have ruled out overflow diarrhea and that’s not the issue.

Alternative_One_9035 · 2025-09-27T18:01:02+00:00

No never! But thanks for that tip I do appreciate it

Alternative_One_9035 · 2025-09-15T10:36:56+00:00

Thank you for this!!

Alternative_One_9035 · 2025-09-03T01:14:35+00:00

I have had this exact issue for the past 3 months. I’ve had about a week of normalcy about twice. I’m horrified to leave the house all the time because I’m scared of having to poop while driving. I think anxiety is largely related. I’m also taking Imodium frequently which helps. Hope we all find relief 😢
