I think I am devolping Chronic Diahreahha. (SP) For the past weak or so, Ive been constently running to the bathroom and doing the hershey squirts. Also whenever I wake up, I have this aweful churning in my stomach. It feels like it wants to bottom out and have it go all at once. Am I going crazy? I could really use some advice here.

Hi there,

I started getting chronic diarreah. Went to the gasto doc, and they did the scope, whatever its called, and found I have colitis. I take one immodium a day (doctor said that was okay to do) which controls it pretty much.

If you have a similar condition, certain foods will make it worse.

Sounds like you need to go to the gastro doc and get it checked out.

Not good to diagnose yourself. This was just my experience. There could be many reasons for having chronic diarreah and you need a doc to figure it out.

Take care,
tapero

I probably need to do so after all this mess at work is over with. Today hasnt been so bad. First time in over a week that I haven't had my problems. But I still woke up with a not.

If you have any change in bowel movements like you are having, text books and medical staff will tell you to get checked out by the doc. Don't put it off. Could be colitis or it could be something more serious. Make an appointment.

...and definitely keep a food journal.

You may need allergy testing.

First thing you need to do is see a gastroenterologist ASAP. While it could be something mild, like IBS, it could also be something serious like ulcerative colitis or Chron's disease. Only a doctor can diagnose these things. Tapero is right, certain foods make all of these conditions worse. However, certain other foods can make it much better. In the research I've done, having been diagnosed with one thing, then being told it was a misdaignosis and then diagnosed with something else, the different conditions have different foods that trigger the episodes. The diet that works for Chron's doesn't work for IBS. Same with medications, but they all have medications that can help.
