Have Diarrhea, Digestion Issues, Allergies. Scheduled Allergy Test. What Can Be Done?
I am trying to get some help from my doctors here in NW AR They say I have a malabsobtion but not interested in going any farther with my diagnosis, saying I can take allergy tests on every vegetable and fruit to see if I'm allergic to it. I have not taken allergy testing but have tried to entroduce each food so I can see if I'm affected. So far I can tolerate tomatoes and potatoes and plain meat. I can eat rice and can eat dill pickles. Can't tolerate any of the fruits or any dairy products. I'm on medicare and they don't want me to go out of state to be tested. Is there anything else I can do, I'm still having diarrhea constantly and cant trust my digestion to do anything?

inflammatorybowel diseases and gluten enteropathy should be ruled out.For gluten enteropathy,avoid wheat in the diet.Symptomatic treatment like bowel binding agents may be used for a short period.Foods that are intolerent,are avoided.
