Suggest Treatment For Re-occurring Diarrhea
I have re-occurring diarrhea, seems to be stress-related; used to respond to Lomotil which doesn t work well now. Am starting gluten-free/non-high fructose corn syrup/ non-dairy diet. No pain involved; usually diarrhea is at night -- maybe 3 times at night.

Hello
Please follow the guidelines
Have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
You should take plenty of fluids including ORS and fruit juices to counter dehydration and electrolytic imbalances
Lots of dietary fibers to keep colon healthy
Avoid milk and milk related products for a while
Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
Maintain good hygiene by washing your hands frequently with antiseptic soap or solution.
If it doesn't improve with these measures than I would advise you for stool test, routine blood profile and an endoscopy if need be.
Thanks and regards
