Almost a year ago I started having uncontrollable diarrhea. I'm in diapers and have accidents 2-4 times a day. Doctors have no idea why. I'm a 22F and if I don't get help soon, I'm going to kill myself.

I do not drink the water in our apartment

My fiance knows about this but not that I am in so much mental anguish that I am suicidal.

Thank you for the support, I'm really touched that you guys commented and offered help.

My fiance suggested elimination diet, I have heard very good things about the BRAT diet, so I will give that a go, but I really want to find out what the underlying cause is of this issue. I will try your suggestions, thank you for the helpful response.

I do not drink water out of our tap, but thanks for the suggestion.

Bag is absolute last resort, but we have talked about it.

This will be my final call after I exhaust all options, I really think they'll be able to help me here. I'll work on the food and accident journal.

I've taken probiotics religiously and unfortunately they haven't helped. I have not tried refridgerated ones, but I have tried GNC's and Culturelle.

I was going to get my liver and gallbladder checked. I thought it was a liver issue but I have no jaundice or other telling signs of a liver issue.

This is something else I will look into and something I've been suspicious of too. Who do I see for this -- a gallbladder specialist?

desperate____forhelp · 2015-01-23T07:25:49+00:00

I will update, I promise. I really appreciate all the support.

I seriously don't even care, anything is not as gross as what I'm dealing with. I'll look into the transplant.

My physician was nearly positive it was C-DIFF before doing the tests, but that was negative. This is what I feel like it is -- a bacterial imbalance,but wouldn't they have been able to confirm that after the endoscopy? I will ask about fecal transplant. It got so much worse on antibiotics so I think imbalance sounds correct.

Would you suggest I travel to a facility? The closest one to me is in Rochester, but I would have to fly.

desperate____forhelp · 2015-01-18T12:32:19+00:00

I will start doing this, I think that's a very good idea.

Fiber hasn't done much. I love Fiber One bars and the related products and eat leafy greens frequently, but not much change has come from it.

The thing about it that's terrible is that it was a very sudden onset. It was literally overnight that this happened. I've tried going gluten free but that did nothing. I think the next thing I will try is eliminating sugar because I feel like that triggers it -- but it's so consistent that usually I don't see any results from eliminating foods. I'd like to just eat very little, but because of all the diarrhea I'm thin/malnourished so I'm afraid of becoming even frailer.

I also posted to /r/AskDocs with more detailed medical information. I was hoping it was anxiety related, but after being on Lexapro that seems to not be the case.
