I'm going through the same thing. I don't have an answer but maybe this will help.

I have been dealing with intermittent diarrhea for weeks. The onset was definitely related to something food borne. My PCP was no help.

I am seeing a GI now and waiting for stomach biopsy results. It is possible to develop IBS following infection! I hope this is not what I am facing. After much reading I think I had an overactive immune response to normal bacteria.

I have tried all the magic bullets: hand fulls of probiotics, bland diet, fermented foods(yogurt, sauerkraut) Fortunately, I was scheduled for routine colonoscopy so I'm now waiting for guidance from the GI.

One word: probiotics.

A daily probiotic blend containing at least 25 billions CFUs balances the GI system and boosts immunity.

I've had IBS-C and GERD for decades and it really helps.

Not sure what soon means for your Doctor appointment. Trust your doctor as she knows your body, and most likely will have the answers for you.

@gellen

Just curious ... when was the last time you took probiotics?

Never took probiotics. Maybe it is time to start. I will check with my Dr on Wed.

Antibiotics and stomach bugs are two of the most common ways to upset normal gut bacteria. The cheapest fixes are eating live cultured yogurt daily, or a daily dose of acidophilus.

I don't tolerate dairy, so yogurt is not a good option for me, but the Natures Bounty brand of acidophilus worked fine.

Never take Immodium unless you know for sure it is only Lower GI upset. When you have a stomach bug and take immodium it SLOWS the progression of symptoms and delays recovery. you may end up throwing up for a longer period of time than you would expect.
