Hi Leah12,

That doesn't sound good especially if it's sudden. Have you been to see your GP about it? Amitriptyline in a low dose can help bulk up stools, but it does leave you with a very dry mouth.

Could it be something you are eating that has set it off? Have you tried the fodmap diet? I find that if I avoid food with a lot of fibre or yeast, helps me.

I hope you can sort it soon, you can't continue like this.

Take care

I had to be referred to hospital, because when I started walking I would soil myself and like you said, no control. I would speak to a doctor. I was put on co codomol due to not having any control. They then did an x ray and could see I was impacted. So the diarrhoea was called 'over flow' where you full up with constipation and no where for your stools to go. So becareful taking bulking medication, just Incase you are impacted. A simple abdomen and lower chest x ray could be requested by your doctor before deciding on what medication to take. It will cause more problems taking constipating medication. Get advice from your doctor and put to them an x ray to rule out you are not impacted.

Best wishes x

I think that it is best to eat your way out of this as a trial at least. Avoid greens or just have courgettes in small amount with your other cooked food, for a few days - maybe have scrambled?hard boiled egg every other day (if you are OK with eggs). As for fruit, only eat it in the mornings and preferably on its own or in a shake of non-dairy liquid. Alternatively cut out all raw foods and forget your 5 a day and eat the carbs suited to your system and avoid refined sugars. Best oif luck.

Hi, I couldn't believe what I read, poor you. I only get this when I have a virus, often of the stomach! I hope this improves, every time my i.b.s goes haywire I see my doctor first. I recommend you see yours - there is a virus going around that hits those with i.b.s the hardest.

I've had extreme diarrhea like yours for YEARS! Finally my new doctor prescribed Welchol (325 mg = 2 pills twice a day) and it absolutely knocked it out completely! I am excited to have my life back. Ask your doctor about this wonderful med..hopefully, it will turn your life around for you!
