Hi everyone.

I really have an uncomfortable subject to ask/talk about, at least for me.

I am suffering from diarrhea constantly. I eat hardly anything I am in the bathroom within 10-15 min of eating the first bit. Sometimes I don't eat anything and am in the bathroom.

This morning I woke up and immediatly had to go and now have a fever, so I think am sick, which I understand that that happens. But I can hardly go out to eat with friends or family anymore because I have to excuse myself or really try and hold it till I get home. I hate using public restrooms but when you have to go really bad you have to go right?

Yesterday I went to town with my mom and aunt and we walked around for a while. The whole time I had to go so bad, but there was nothing I could do about it. I am also suffering from severe back pain at the moment, but the diarrhea has been around for years. Never this bad though.

We went to a resteraunt for my b-day and I couldn't even finish my meal because i had to rush to the bathroom. This is really affecting my life and am always in the bathroom. I swear i spend more time in there than I do anywhere else right now....

About 5 years ago I did have my gall bladder out and things kinda started then but never like this. Also I have had a colonoscopy and have been hospitalized with dehydration because of the sever diarrhea, but other than that I don't know really what to do now. I mean they took the stool tests and all the gross stuff a while back.

I can't take anything over the counter either. I have tried the pepto and got sick because I am on a MAOI for one of the anti-depressents and am not allowed to take hardly anything over the counter.

I am sorry this is going on and on, I am just wondering if there are others out there that have experienced the same thing and have any ideas as to what to do.

Anyways, if anyone has any ideas or have been through or are going though the same thing I would really appreciate some feedback. This has been going on for too long, and I can't stand it anymore. I don't even like to leave the house because of this problem and going out to eat with a friend is pretty much out of the question.

Thanks for listening...take care everyone
