Looking for medicines that help IBS, or Crohn's Disease?
I have had bouts of diarrhea, every few months. It would last for a few days to a week. I would take probiotics, fiber, and sometimes an antibiotic. After a week at most things were OK. But over the years, it has gotten worse. From 2-4 times a year to once a month to once a week, until 8 months ago it is almost everyday. Now it seems no matter what I eat it goes right through me, within a few hours. They have tripled my fiber, in the last 3 months and had 2 courses of antibiotics. Still no help. But every drug I see on TV, or look up claims it causes possible liver damage, and a brain infection that could cause my death. Anyone have good luck with any IBS meds they can tell me about.
I did and I am. His last assessment, was to take another antibiotic, and go from 2 table spoons of fiber 2 times a day to 3 times a day. I am going to see him Monday, and I wanted to go in with ideas, from people who have my illness and had luck with one of the 4 drugs used.
If you do not have Crohn's disease, or IBS, and are taking a medication that is making things better, do not answer.
