Hi Everyone!

I am on day 5 and my stomach is soooooo upset. I’m having diarrhea five or six times a day – sorry to be so graphic, but it’s bad and I need some help J.

I thought it would get better as I started eating real food again, but it’s not.



I am sucking on some ginger tablets and it helped on day one, but not since then. Any one else experience this or have any ideas how to stop it?



Thanks for your help!

Hi Dawn,
I am sorry to hear you are going through this. You may have a touch of the flu. Have you had any fevers or cold sweats? It could also be your body flushing itself out or dumping. What have you been eating lately? If you have a protein powder you can add 1/2 of a banana to it with some metamucil if you have it. Metamucil has a lot of fiber which will absorb some of the liquid that is causing the problem. Just make sure you continue to drink your fluids so you don't get dehydrated. Hope this helps.

Hugs,

yeah...I was wondering about a stomach bug too. I'm not thinking that the 5dpt should have caused this, if anything I would have a tendancy to think it would cause constipation. Drink and stay hydrated!

Are you using a new protein mix or drinking more milk than you are used to? A lactose intolerance can show up at any time and it would cause what you are talking about. A lot of protein powders are milk based. That is the only thing that I can think of.

Hope you feel better soon!

hugs!

I agree with ang. I think you should check with your doctor and see if you have a bug or have developed a lactose intolerance.

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for your responses. I'm still not sure what is going on. I haven't felt sick. I've been a little tired. I started adding fiber pills and it hasn't done much. I have been using a whey protein shake. I've cut back to two a day and it hasn't helped either.

Very confused! If you have any other suggestions or ideas, please let me know.
