Autoimmune Question
I've had ibs-d all my life. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency after horrible diarrhea. Just this year, a new gastro checked my gallbladder, it was 0% ejection fraction, and I had my gallbladder removed. Still have the diarrhea. She then gave me colestid to help with that. Ok. Now, all this week, I've had low grade cramping but not any diarrhea until yesterday, when I was very crampy as well, but it passed after a few hours. Today, horrible cramping and diarrhea, at times passing what looks like intestinal lining with blood but not blood like somethings actively bleeding. I've been tested for celiac and they say no, but now I wonder if I don't really have it or some other autoimmune issue. Autoimmune thyroid runs in my family but mine tests fine, but another sister has lupus so makes me wonder about the autoimmune possibility. I've got a call in to the dr, but thought I'd come here as well because we actually live in the real world. For what it's worth, I eat mainly higher protein and vegetables, very few carbs but, with feeling so crummy, two nights in a row I ate cream of wheat for supper. Not something I usually do, but it's a comfort food thing for me. Most everything I eat is homemade, very little processed at all. Any thoughts?

You might have to go on baby food until it's figured out what exactly you have. You can have an allergic reaction to some food you're eating. I'm sure you've been tested for food allergies. Amazon has Equalactin which is OTC but you can't buy it in stores anymore. Until you find out exactly what's going on you're just going to have to treat the symptoms. I had terrible loose stools after eating, mine was chronic gastritis. Best of luck to you, this is a life stopper.

I called the dr and she said triple the colestid I'm taking and she ordered a stool test in case of infection. Should I start with colloidal silver, do you think? This mornings stool was bloody as well, but I slept and didn't have any bm's for over 6 hours, so that's better than yesterday. She also said if it gets worse go to the ER, but I really want to avoid that.

Hi GertJr,
I think 30+ years of IBS-d is not something that can be solved quickly. You might talk to your doctor to see if you could be a possible candidate for FMT since you have IBS-d for over thirty years and standard of care has obviously failed you.
You sound like you are right at a point where you may have to go to the ER.
Your digestive system seems to be in a runaway inflammatory state. A few things you can consider to try and calm your highly irritated digestive system in the meantime are Ginger Root Powder Capsules, Peppermint Oil Soft Gels, higher potency probiotics and Oral Aloe Vera. These four may allow you to avoid that ER visit for now. They can help quell the runaway inflammation, spasms and diarrhea.

I don't think AgNPs are a consideration until you have an actual diagnosis of a pathogenic infection.

Hi,
I am dealing with chronic diarrhea now for a year, but have had it all my life off and on. At one point was diagnosed with IBS. But what is that? Just a name they picked. It could be infection, parasites or candida, and probably some heavy metals. For all of those, I would take MMS, you can look that up online or on this site. I was on MMS a year, which took some real discipline, but it got rid of a four year ear infection and surely got rid of some heavy metals and candida. Also, diet is key. I just started Bill Thompson's candida diet, bought his book too, Killing So Sweetly. If you're like me you don't know exactly what is happening, so MMS is a good place to start. Look up Andreas Kalcker.
