Gastro update

Went to gastro doc yesterday. She couldn’t pinpoint my problem. But, one thing I didn’t know. When you have diarrhea, drink sugar and salted drinks. I had just been drinking water. So, I switched to Gatorade. So far, so good. Maybe this episode is clearing up.

I hope you're finally feeling better. Yes, we can not only get dehydrated from diarrhea, but lose important electrolytes. I do hope you get an answer for the issue so it doesn't happen again.

Do you have massive trips of diarrhea? Have they done the dreaded colonoscopy? I had this last year and it ended up I have collagenous colitis. I lost nearly 20 pounds in 10 days. It's another "wonderful" autoimmune disease. The meds my GI tried to prescribe are only FDA approved for Crones disease so I had to take 2 Pepto Bismol tablets 4 times/day. It took quite awhile but it's finally calmed down. I'm still careful of what and how much I eat.
