Suggest Remedies For Chronic Diarrhea And Excess Gas
please help me help my wife. she has suffered from gas and diarrhea for over a year now. we thought we had the answer when gall stones were discovered and her gallblatter removed in janurary, however the gas, although slightly better is still there and the chroni diarhhea is not acceptable. the surgeon who removed the gallblatter prescribed some kind of medicine this past week to stop the diarhhea but that will constipate her so we're just getting nothing accomplished. i know about IBS and all of that but this has got to stop or get better. she has lost over 40 lbs in a year ok because she doesn't eat. we cant go out anywhere, our lifestyle has totally changed so please help me, i am desparate.
