I have been having frequent mornings with diarrhea, at least 2-3 times a week. After several does of immodium it stops.

I have had a very bad cold this week and now have diarrhea with a much larger amount of mucous than before. I have some cramping but not a lot.

I have been tested recently for Crohn's, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus and bowel infections. I also had a colonoscopy within the last 6 months. All were negative.

I have been diagnosed with IBS but this seems to be getting progressively worse. I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy a few years ago and I am wondering if this might have any connection.
