I have had dark green loose stool for 15 days straight. I have had a stool test all was clear for infection, e coli, rota virus and everything else.

I thought it was the Truvia I was using so I stopped it and have not had any sugar or sugar substitutes for over 5 days. I have not changed anything in my diet and yet I can't seem to get it to stop.

I have tried tums, seltzer, Imodium, gas x, anti diarrhea, and nothing seems to work.
the Dr said the only thing he can think of is go see him and discuss it.

I would rather not pay an arm and a leg just for him to say YEP YOU NEED TO SEE ANOTHER DR....

I have tried to research this and I can't find a thing.
I do not have a gallbladder or appendix and had a full hysterectomy 8 years ago.
please help

Blessings

Sounds like you need to slow your bowels down.

Since you don't have a gallbladder, have you taken a bile binder? Bile can irritate the bowel and cause diarrhea.

Have you been following the BRAT diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast)? You should be if you are having diarrhea. Think low residue, easy foods.

Yes I have been doing all of that. I just started to take a probiotic hoping it helps.
