Well, now after 50 days (who's counting) on Culturelle, I think I can see a pattern of improvement. It has been like 3 steps ahead and 2 back for most of this time. It didn't seem to work, then whoops, an improvement, then a week or so of backsliding, then a good week, followed by a week of ups and downs.
I can state right now that the last 8 days have been the best I have had in over a year, and things seem better daily. From 5+ urgent liquid foul movements to 1, maybe 2, mostly formed, and I am able to hold on relatively easily. Bloating and gas are greatly improved as well.
In fact, I am starting to wonder if I am getting a bit constipated - most likely because I have been so accustomed to having a continuous concern about D, and when the D goes, it almost seems that one needs something else to worry about, since we do not know what normal is anymore.
I may be posting in another week or so that everything has fallen apart again, but for now, I guess I can say that persistence and patience in taking Culturelle may pay off.
