[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 573526, member: 3419"] Just as I thought I was getting better, I had an extremely violent case of *%#* at a bookstore yesterday and did not make it to the bathroom in time. :bag:Thank d*G I was wearing thick jeans. :blushing:I spent 1/2 hr cleaning up (not easy when you're in a stall, with-no WetWipes) and disposing of clothing. THAT's IT!!! It's been going on since before Thanksgiving and I've had it. (There was a JC Penney next door so I ran in and bought brand new underwear. A beggar had come up to my car and asked for money and all I could think of was, well, it could be worse--I could be poor, homeless, AND have a colon issue! And I'm lucky to have new pink undies. (*Hey, when you're embarrassed and stressed out, make the best of it. ) I can only go for 24 hr with-o an antidiarrheal, I'm eating probiotics and enzymes by the boatload, I've given up chocolate (Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrggghhh!:sad:) and cheese (I'd given up milk yrs ago), and the medications the GP gave me made me way too sleepy.:sigh: I've had IBS since I was a kid, and started taking probiotics and enzymes about 3 yrs ago and they helped immensely. I had my first colonoscopy in May and there was one, tiny, benign polyp removed. This happened just a few days b4 Thanksgiving and has not let up since. None of the back-and-forth stuff like IBS. I just researched on Google (again) and the problem is, so much of these symptoms can be caused by stress. I really believe that I am not under any more stress than I was 6 mo's ago and that I have some condition. My stool sample came out normal (bacteria, ovum, parasites). One of the medications I read about is Lotronex, which prevents seratonin from acting on specific receptor sites within the gut known as 5-HT3 receptors. Does that interfere with-psychiatric medications that deal with-seratonin? :ashamed: [/QUOTE]
