Hi all
For the past month or so, I have had a lot of gas & bouts of diarrhea. Sometimes I REALLY have to go & it turns out to be gas. Sometimes it's not gas & I barely make it in time. Watery explosive stools (sorry).. I had Cdiff 7 years ago & my GI tract has never been the same but nothing like this. I lost a lot of weight since last year until late spring, but it stabilized over the summer & I have even gained back 5 pounds so there is no recent weight loss. And no blood.
Lately my D is mostly in the afternoon & I am wondering if I have suddenly become intolerant of coffee, which I take with cream & sweetener. I have read that coffee can do this & I do drink good quality coffee with cream or good quality iced coffee with cream, usually a good 2 mugs a day. But why would I suddenly react to it like that? IF that is what it is.
This was all preceded by what I think MIGHT have been an internal hemorrhoid or anal fissure. Painful scratchy feeling inside the rectum, sometimes itching. Lasted weeks until I started with the hemorrhoidal suppositories. It took a while but now that is gone. Just lots of gas & the sudden diarrhea.
Going to see my doc tomorrow.
This is a pain in the ass!
