Why cant you come to the states? I dont know wher you are in

relation to the states but there are great clinics from New York to

Minnisota.

A lot of us have problems with diarrhea/steatorrhea. I was told

years ago I had IBS and just got used to it. But I think yo need to

call your doctor about all this you dont want to end in the hospital

dehydrated. There is something going on and I think you need to be

seen by another physician soon.

Good luck Jen,
