I've had fibro for about 12 years and all of a sudden I have had diarreah every day for three weeks. Then git better couple days and now its back. I have also had bad nausea and pains in my stomachs. Does this sound familiar? I know its not a virus as its been going on for 3 months now.
Yes i have been going through the same thing for the last year in a half. Theu have done testing and everything has come back fine. I am going for morr testing on thursday, small bowel testing, so we will see how that comes back. So far my gastroenterologist has said its because of the fibromyalgia, but he wants to continue to rule things out. I feel for you.
@A MyFibroTeam Member im sure this is apart of fibromyalgia. Its one of the annoying symptoms of it that i wish would go away, but we just arent that lucky lol.. i am now doing the prep for my testing tomorrow so we will see what they have to say tomorrow.
@MarrianneRasnake... Hi...try Metamucil. I know that most ppl take that to GO to the bathroom but it is also used in cases like this because it forms bulk and helps to draw "water" out of the waste product. You may need to use it for several days though before it begins to help. Abt a tablespoon in 6-8 oz liquid every morning. Also limit raw veggies!
Perhaps you are experiencing ibs or irritable bowel syndrome. I've had the same problem off and on. There are many factors contributing to it if in fact that's what it is. Diet is one and taking narcotics for pain cause constipation and alternating with diarhea. Check with your doctor and see what he/she has to say.
I have been dealing with this one forever. I even have a undies and pants bag to go. Haha for me its IBS i have really paid attention to what i eat and what spikes it. Papya enzimes and malcitrate help a lot . Not a fix all be any means.
