Have Ibs And Supplements Causing Diarrhea Each Time I Take Them
I feel really dumb saying this, but here goes: I have a very hard time doing all these things that I should/need to do. I get up and take acv, then prepare oatmeal. Run to the bathroom with diarrhea. Finish fixing my oatmeal (+lecethin granules + Virgin Coconut Oil + cinnamon), run to the bathroom again, eat my oatmeal, then take my astaxanthin + green tea extract + lysine, run to the bathroom again.....and so on all day. I take align at night, which works wonders for my ibs d, but I rarely find a supplement that doesn't aggravate it. How in the world do I manage to take supplements without getting the runs? This is chronic, over 20 years, and I was taking 12 immodium /day. Now down to maybe 5 a week. That's just my very early morning. At lunchtime it's pretty much the same thing. I work--I can't do this running back and forth, what if I don't make it? I am on no drugs other than immodium.
If you have never done any colon, parasite, or pathogen cleanses, then it will be imperative to do so as these can cause chronic digestive disorders. Treating the symptoms are currently only getting you thru the day and night. Look on either the "remedies" or "ailments" tabs here on E.C. for further info.
Post any further questions or updates for additional help, and good luck.

I take astaxanthin for my arthritis--without it I have to take pharma meds. I take lecithin/green tea extr/lysine/glycine/acv for my cholesterol. I take evening primrose oil for my hot flashes. I could 'survive' without them, but they DO make a difference, so I'd like to take them. I seem to over-react to anything; you may get a cramp, I get full blown diarrhea.

Dear A
I have had this since I had surgery to remove 1/2 of my lower intestine (due to eating gluten, I believe). The first 2-3 years I could not leave the house, I never could predict when I would have an attack. Then I found EC for an entirely different problem. Read Ted's remedy to take Apple Cider Vinegar with 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water, after an attack. I had relief right away. It stopped completely. Changed my life. Now I just drink 1 to 2x a day. I do not think about it anymore. I have my life back. I also take wormwood tincture every 2 or 3 mos. It removes any parasites that may be lurking (20 drops 1x a day for 3 days for three weeks in a row. God bless. Janet
