Loose stool can be a side effect of many medications. Anti-biotics can cause
both loose stool or constipation. One big problem many of us suffer from is
letting it bother us to a point where it causes depression. It can really mess
with us once it is that bad.
I agree with W about checking for bacteria that shouldn't be there.
I do hope you feel better soon. Don't hesitate to let us know anything new you
might learn.
Best wishes,
john

That's a good idea W. I'll take care of that tomorrow night.
I'm not able to use fresh milk because I have become increasingly intolerant of
lactose. When I have to use milk I use the lactose-free milk.

Have you discussed submitting a sample of your stool for testing for high
bacteria? Loose stool usually is related to gas. The oatmeal should be
absorbing a lot of excess liquids in your digestive system as it is processed.
If you have a bug in your system, it should be cultured and tested. Maybe a
daily bowel movement might be better for awhile, maybe not. I hope you are
using fresh milk with your oat meal.

I am just about at wits end. Once again my bowels have erupted in pain. I am
racking my brain trying to figure out what it is that may be causing this
problem, but the only thing I can ID is that I did change my probiotic
(acidophilus) to one without dairy. The sad part is it's really expensive and
right now I just don't know if it is the problem or not.
I have been a proponent of oatmeal and I take Metamucil on a daily basis. Over
the last couple of weeks I have been plagued with a burning sensation that
begins just below my belly region and extends all the way down to the rectum.
I would think these are phantom pains, but my bowel regiment has had nothing
but loose movements for what seems like ages. Even when my bowels seemed to be
doing pretty well, which is that they aren't in excruciating pain, I
consistently have loose movements.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm going to try to talk to my doctor once again,
but this happened last year from June through November and it was the oatmeal
once a day that finally got me through it. This year I had the problem from
late June through the middle of August and I was never able to identify what
remedy the situation.
I have written in before, but I'm almost willing to do anything now.
