Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea
I have had an intestinal problem for over a year with intermittent bouts of diarrehea. But the past three weeks the bouts have been coming more frequently to the point where I have loose watery stools 5-8 times a day and it only stops when I take medication. I went to the doctor who said it could be IBS and scheduled me for a colonsocopy two months from now. But this is really wreaking havoc with my life.
