So, for the last week and a half I’ve had only diarrhea. No formed stool but no increase in frequency or urgency. I go anywhere from 1-3 times a day. I didn’t go at all yesterday and then today right back to straight liquid. Any ideas? Only other symptom is acid reflux - which I’ve never had before.

Any changes, additions in food or supplement intake? Artificial sweeteners?
Unless you have an invader of sorts, youre flaring.
You need to have stool testing done asap.

Increase enemas to nightly as well as oral to at least 3000mg daily.
I would also double the probiotic after the stool testing.

Hmmm… I have been on 5000 iu per day vitamin d (tested really low and dr advised to do 5000/day)… didn’t think of that new addition. You’re probably right though…. Up the meds and get the tests…. Was hoping it might just be stress…. (Denial! Lol)

Agree with quincy re: requesting stool sample testing for possible infectious causes. Other than that, I'm not sure. I'd contact your GI.

Wouldn't be the vit D.
Call tomorrow to request a stool sample test kit and get it done asap. As well, ask for rxs to increase your meds.
Keep us updated how you're doing.
