The truth is that diarrhea is our friend.
1. You wake up-actually woken up by an uncontrollable urge to go to the bathroom. You barely make it in time–well sometimes you do.
2. You have to go 2-3 more times before breakfast.
3. You have stomach cramps already.
4. You try to decide what to eat for breakfast that will not make you nauseous and will give you the least amount of gas and diarrhea.
Diarrhea is the single symptom that all inflammatory bowel ‘diseases’ have in common. People suffering with IBS/Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Colitis-UC/Ulcerative Colitis-Crohn’s ‘disease’ all experience either periodic or urgent diarrhea usually to some degree daily. This can be managed short term with otc meds like Imodium or by eating very restrictive diets. But—it will never go away w/o the proper treatment.
