Well that didn't work...

The whole bile salt acid diarrhea medication thing was a big fat failure.  My body simply could not tolerate the medication.  I was supposed to take it twice a day.  I couldn't even take it once a day for two days in a row because I needed at least three days in between doses for my intestines and rectum to recover from the side effects.  I had pain, I had bleeding, I even had a moment where I passed out on the bathroom floor because of all of that.  It was not good.  I traded a lot of diarrhea for diarrhea, pain, bleeding hemorrhoids, bloating, and a vast supply of never ending smelly farts that exhausted me just to expel.  I think I'll take just the diarrhea. Now I am onto another type of medication that is said to help those with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D) called Lotronex.  It's a scary drug.  It can cause a whole whirlwind of problems and could eventually wind me up in the hospital if I'm not super careful with it....
