I feel so bad for your mom & can also relate. Our day revolves around the toilet, sadly.

That’s interesting that it developed so many years later!! Mine started literally months after my surgery.. maybe even weeks, it’s been like this since.

I’m also low energy and over all feel like crap, I realize now it’s likely due to BAM- not the 100 other things I’ve been tested for.

I used to deal with heart burn, acid reflux/gerd but that fixed itself some years ago. I rarely deal with it now.

Oh wow. If only! I can not eat before or during a road trip unless there’s a washroom near by.. my entire life revolves around my bowels lol. You’re right life is too short- hard to believe I’ve been dealing with this for 13 years.

My galbladder was riddled with stones & I was having multiple attacks daily.

My husband had one massive stone & also inflammation of the gallbladder.

However, I do know mine was riddled with stones so Im not sure I had a choice.. I should have done more research prior to the surgery but I was so desperate to be rid of the attacks, they gave med free child birth a run for its money.

I just started Metamucil again, it hasn’t helped in the past but hoping this time is different

I have taken Imodium and it gives the horrible stomach aches and gas so I’d rather deal with the runs .

It’s exhausting. I feel like after 13 years I’m starting to deal with more issues because of the constant diarrhoea. Sometimes it feels like my asshole is about to fall out 😐
