D for about 6 weeks now - Is SCD not working?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have been experiencing D with bouts of normal BMs for about 6 weeks now. 4

weeks ago I had my gall bladder removed. Today I went back to the intro hoping

it would help, but my D is like waterfalls!!! The one thing the intro diet has

done is allieviate most of the pain. I thought doing the intro again may wipe

out any of the bad bacteria that may have developed because of the antibiotics

administered for the operation. I was in the hospital for 4 days. I have no

idea how much or for how long I was given antibiotics. I was flat out on my

back thankful for the drugs that allieviated the pain of the gall bladder

attacks.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible that the SCD won't work for

me? I don't know where the light at the end of this tunnel is. I just want to

get to a better place and be in a place of progressive healing. I was happy

there.

Has anyone experienced something similar? I know I am supposed to experience

setbacks but for how long can they last? I am getting discouraged because D has

been going on for 25% of the time that I have been on the diet thus far. I have

upped my meds by 800 MG again and it is not working! I was down to 800 MG when

this started.

I know it is only day 1 of the intro again, but I am getting afraid that I will

never get better. I am hoping I am over reacting.

Thanks,

Val
