Diarrhea help

[Guest guest]

For those of you who may have these problems, I've found some

interesting info on an IBS site:

>I had my gall bladder removed in 1976 and from that time on I had

suffered urgent attacks of DIARRHEA. Went through a lot of test but

nothing else could be found.

I took many of the meds for bowel spasms and cramps over the years

but nothing ever seemed to help. I started to take a calcium

supplement to help prevent bone loss in later years and from the

first day I felt relief. I was pretty much a prisoner to the bathroom

or had to go without eating to be able to leave the house.

I must take 1 tablet with each meal and the DIARRHEA does not come

back if I miss taking it I get DIARRHEA.

The way it works is the calcium carbonate it a binder and when you

take it only about 40% of the calcium gets to the bones and the rest

is gotten rid of in our waste. During the process it gets to the

intestines and soaks up excess bile and water and helps give a more

solid BM. Now that you have no gall bladder the bile fluid goes

directly into the intestines and causes irritation and DIARRHEA. The

calcium carbonate soaks this up and no more DIARRHEA. It works great

for a lot of us and you just have to take the calcium regularly and

>do not miss.

Hi ,

Probiotics cleared up my son's two year chronic diahrreah in a matter of

days. This is not true for everyone but for many it is. You didn't mention

probiotics, is your son on probios?

We used Klaire Ther-biotics, Bio-Kult, and BioCare Bio-Acidophilus but there

are many others that are very good as well.

All the best,

Darla

My son (19 yo, autism) has been on enzymes for about 5 months.

For the last 2 years he has had extreme diarrhea requiring him to use

disposable underwear though previously toilet trained and tending toward

constipation. After some biomedical interventions the diarrhea developed. We

have tried

many things to treat it. There have been a few very brief periods of

improvement

(3-7 days). We do not know why.

Last week I experimented and gave him ibuprofen regularly for a week.

We saw an improvement but only half as much. I did this to see if

inflammation was the culprit. From this I would guess it has some part.

I really thought the enzymes (HN- Zyme Prime, Peptizyde, and No-Fenol,

1/meal) would take care of this. We have seen an improvement in disposition

but not

the diarrhea.

Any suggestions? Do I need to increase enzymes/meal? Should I use Aloe Vera

to calm the gut, and if so what type? Could it be viral(bacterial/to calm

th

are giving 5 drops GSE, 2 Houston OLE capsules 3 x/day.

Also he has some mood swings.

Thanks,

Have you tried probiotics? They can be very helpful.

Might be certain foods he is eating now, that the enzymes are not

addressing. What does he eat?

B vitamin deficiency, especially B12, can cause diarrhea. So can zinc

deficiency.

Yeast and/or bacteria overgrowth can cause diarrhea.

Try switching to SCD version Zyme Prime and AFP Peptizyde. Maybe he

is not tolerating papain/bromelain.

Also, do you give enzymes with his snacks?

I have read several success stories with aloe vera, so definitely

something to consider.

Remove the GSE, see if that helps.
