julieburns Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 It's very common since all you are having are liquids. Get yourself some kaopectate. Also start on some sort of fiber ASAP. I LOVE benefiber. It's a powder that dissolves completely in any liquid, they also have chewable tablets. If you get the powder benefiber put it in everything you drink. this should help in a day or to without the kaopectate but if you need relief sooner than bet that. Some folks find that apple juice also increases this so cut down on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1rod47 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Thanks for the reply julie. I thought fiber would make me go more. I will try that. I have been drinking some diluted apple juice so I will stop that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also took some immodium which fixed me right up! dont fear, it will eventually pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbi Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I had bad diarreha too. I took immodium and that helped right away. Took benefiber in liquid too. This will perk you up and stop all the running to the bathroom. Oh I remember well! Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
