Question: Good lord, and online dr. I hope can tell me something. In 1977 our family (I was 35) went to Germany, Italy and London. I got terrible diarrhea the first night there. I had it every day for the three weeks I was there. Needless to say, not a fun trip for me. It seems that over the years my diarrhea has increasingly gotten worse. I've missed out on so much of life because of it. I NEVER had the problem before I went to Europe. Noted, my eating habits haven't been the best, but ok until the past few years they have been worse. I thought at one time it could have been anxiety. Nah! I've had my share of colonoscopies and all have been clean. I'm due for one now. One dr. prescribed lomotil for me, that was to be my answer. Not! It would stop the diarrhea and then maybe a couple days later, the diarrhea is back. For the past 3 or 4 years, I've had "accidents" when I'm clothed, thank God most of those I was at home, but some I was in public and had to leave FAST. I am now a "young" (would like to be anyway) 71. Have moved with my husband to a beautiful retirement village and was looking forward to our new life. XXXXXXX 27 I was diagnosed with diabetes. My blood sugar was so high they say I was close to a coma and death. Ever since that diagnosis I have had daily diarrhea as to where I can't leave my home and have soiled my clothes 4 times since then. I don't know if this recent bout since diagnosed, is from my insulin and I'm also taking
Glimepiride. Have you any answers at all for me? I would be eternally grateful. XXXX
