Try taking some probiotics and aloe vera juice. This helped my mom

tremendously.

few weeks.

I worry about not absorbing anything during this time...meds, foods

etc. Not to mention the electrolyte balance getting screwed

up....would this be a good time to take sea salt?

Does anyone know where this could be coming from and how to fix it?

I'm taking magnesium and decided to hold off for a few days.

What probiotics do you take. There is a real good one by solaray that has over

25 billion organisms. I would try that one...

Then should I raise HC on the days of the diarhea? Gosh that would

be many days in a row most times.

This week my temps were stable at 98.6 and hardly had any hypo

symptoms....hairloss has slowed down a lot, sleep is somewhat better

and then wham,,,,,diarhea! Hate to up the HC when all the other

stuff is going well.

I seem to be getting this when I eat any meal with fat lately, Years

ago it was dairy....then when I had too much fiber in one

meal....now it seems to be animal fat. Don't know what to eat

anymore!

Magnesium will certainly cause the runs for me. But then nearly

everything does--I've had IBS-D for over 30 years.

But some other things to check:

some supplements can cause this, including vit C in doses higher than

personal bowel tolerance

sugar and carbs

fruit

sugar alcohols (maltitol, xylitol, sorbitol, etc)

*hyperthyroid* (I have had this problem so long off and on that I didn't

recognize a sudden increase in severity and frequency as one indicator I

had gone hyper).

I also believe from one of my symptom lists that chronic diarrhea can be

low cortisol.

My experience is it is good to take salt, because you lose a lot of

fluid and minerals with the runs.

Thank you Sol. I did remember that too much magnesium could cause

this so I eliminated it for a few days. But I have been on high

doses before without problems. I eat A LOT of fruit and usually

don't have any issues...papaya/bananas/oranges/plums....only mangoes

cause issues (very high fiber) and they are my favorite!!! Of

course!

I ran out of my Vit C this week so it's not that either.

I'm guessing low cortisol. But I'm at 25 mg and feeling really well

otherwise.

I've had this on and off all my life. Most of my friends complain

about constipation but that's one hypo symptom I've never had. My

last colonoscopy my doc said everything 'was fine' and no

diverticula or polyps or anything....so don't know.

I'm going to raise HC I guess. That and look into all of this

candida talk I've read on other forums ....to be honest, I just

haven't had the energy to check out new diseases I might have! LOL

Chronic diarrhea is also a hyper symptom. When I was hyper, I'd have

to go about 2-3 hours after each meal, and it was literally poop soup.

If you're not hyper, it should be hours before a true bowel movement.

Lactose intolerance caused more " explosive " bowel movements, and it was

only temporary, meaning for a period after ingesting dairy. But the

hyper diarrhea was chronic.

Now this will be contrary to what Val says, but I'm starting to believe

that just as Broda's acceptable basal is 98.0 +- .2, meaning 97.8-98.2,

that optimal daily average is 98.6 +- .2, meaning 98.4-98.8, and you

might be one of those better at 98.4. And I might be a 98.8 person.

Course, Broda also say hypos tend to have post-nasal drips which

artificially elevate their oral temperatures, so that might explain my

case too. Don't know, these are just theories I come up with to help

me figure out where optimum is for me.

You know Barb that's really interesting. I sometimes, not always,

but sometimes will feel a little hyper at 98.6, but I always talk

myself into thinking I'm better, because I have more energy. Just

today, I was on the phone with my daughter, and she said " mom, have

you gone hyper, you're talking non stop " . LOL Maybe cutting the

Cytomel by a tiny smidgeon will help this. Am going to try

tomorrow....thanks...I think this thinking 'outside the box' is very

helpful. We're all so different.

In my family, when we have diarrhea, we take 2 refrigerated type probiotics

after every loose bowel movement until it's cleared up, then back to a regular

schedule of 2 a day. You might want to make sure and take plenty of fiber to

firm up the stools as well. I used to have IBS issues, but once I did a serious

course of digestive enzymes and probiotics, (about a year with 2 enzymes on an

empty stomach upon awakening, 2 with each meal and snack, and 2 on an empty

stomach at bedtime, along with 2 probiotics twice daily) along with eating

properly and plenty of vegetables, mine finally regulated itself and I no longer

have to be stringent about the supplements.

I only take NSP's Food Enzymes when I eat a meal that I know is hard to digest

for me, like beef, or ice-cream, or if I'm having a particularly heavy meal, or

eating at a restaurant and there are probably processed foods and food additives

included.

I do the probiotics now just when I'm feeling off....(but I eat a small

probiotic-added cottage cheese every day for breakfast) we treat our colds and

viruses with them in larges doses, too, 6 or 7 at a time, 2 or 3 times daily

will usually knock out whatever bug is trying to invade our systems....

As a remedy to the diarhea, no. But I do cook with it. Olive oil

for salads. Animal fat seems to hit me harder.

Thanks Terri...that was helpful. I've realized I am way underdosed!

I was only taking 2 probiotics a day and 2 dig. enzymes a day. Will

up them both for a while and see how it goes.
