How did I get D-free for four months?
Well, to start with I didn't duplicate the combinations of triggers I had for my 50th birthday dinner last year: champagne, lobster and chocolate cake! Yep, I got diarrhea for my 50th birthday!!
Seriously, there are three keys for me: 1. Fiber supplement, maximum daily dose. (I happen to take Metamucil, but there are lots of different ones, including Heather's acacia.) 2. Anti-spasmodic taken twice daily. (Again, I happen to take Bentyl, but there are lots of different ones, including Heather's peppermint caps.) 3. HEATHER'S DIET!! No alcohol, no coffee, no high fat or fried foods. Lots of soluble fiber foods. Many small meals and snacks so I don't stress my tummy with too much to digest at once. Cautious consumption of safe protein and insoluble fiber.
And for me, it took ALL THREE. If I stopped doing any one of the three, I'd be running for the bathroom again, just like you!
Hope this helps. And don't give up! That's an order!!
