Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea While Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis
I have had diarrhea for 6 weeks. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and a multitude of other things resulting from that. So, I am on continual drugs. I had the stool sample checked, they didn t find anything, but no one gave me an answer other than to try the brats diet . I have done that and am still in severe discomfort. Do you have any ideas or is this just an RA Thing and deal with it - it should end soon?
As per your history you have already done stool examinations and found nothing so let me know few things whether you have abdominal cramps, gas and bloating?if yes then lactose intolerance can not be ignored.so you may follow like this-
1)take small amount of milk if you are taking more
2)if you take milk take it with other foods
3)Take lactase enzyme tablets before food may help
4)Buy lactose free products
5)Take a probiotics lactobacillus caps once a day and add Yogurt and Cheese in your diet
