Re: Had a good day,
Well so far so good!! only issue I have currently is constipation for 2 or 3 days...dunno
why, but suspect because I eat terribly....had one greasy movement few days back...

Re: Had a good day,
You could try to add some foods with more fiber. Vegetables and/or fruit or if those don't agree, try a bran cereal like Raisin Bran or Total. I drink guava juice when I get C. Before c diff it was prune juice, but that would be too strong now. C can cause discomfort and cramping sometimes, so best to try and be more regular.

Also drink a lot more water.
Try to get an extra 8 cups a day.

Re: Had a good day,
Don’t jump the gun. Unless you have several episodes, 3 or more, of watery d for about 3 days it is a GI upset or IBS.
Eat bland for the next few days and stay away from heavy fiber and see what happens.
Constipation alternating with some d can be a form of IBS.

It may be IBS, but I would probably let the doctor know.

There are medications to control symptoms. Also, diet.
