Help - diarrhoea out of control

[Sedalia]

I've had this diarrhoea for 5 days now. Today I am not taking any shakes to give my system a rest. Even Immodium doesn't work. I don't think it will interfere with ketosis as I will only be drinking water. The only thing I can track this tummy upset down to is me starting to take Crampex tablets at night. They contain calcium, do you think they could be the cause? Ive only had this bloody problem since I started taking them so I hope that stopping them, giving my bowels a rest will help! Please make it go away.:cry:

I would rather have cramps than running diarrhoea 24 hours a day.

Oh dear, poor you I don't know what to suggest really, but isn't having diarrhoea for a period of time dangerous in some way? Something to do with losing salts and fluids It doesn't sound right to me.
Have you seen your GP?

I hope you feel better soon

I'd say go to your gp, just to make sure you're alright and its nothing to worry about. hope you get better soon and let us know how you get on.

Oh no Charlotte you poor thing... I seem to remember you werent keen on your GP knowing you are doing LT, so maybe you could call NHS Direct if you want to speak to someone. I really really hope it stops, its must be awful for you :-(

 

[Sedalia]

As I said I'm giving my bowels a rest today, and stopping taking the Crampex and we will see how we go on. Problem is, I have to travel to another town today to be weighed! I hope this diarrhoea hasn't adversely affected my weightloss.

I doubt it will have adversely affected your weightloss in fact it will probably have helped a bit. If it does not calm today or tomorrow I would for def see a doctor and get stronger medication though just to be sure.

 

[ducatidiva]

Let us know how weigh in goes Charlotte, hope you get there and back ok

 

[Sedalia]

Going without the shakes seems to have stopped the diarrhoea, now I wait to see what happens next lol.

 

[ducatidiva]

Have you not had anything at all apart from water Charlotte? Are you SSing again now?

Oh you poor thing...just reading this thread (as havent been around for a few days):wave_cry:.....did you ring your Chemist....they might give you some additional advice.

 

[Sedalia]

My chemist thinks it's just a bug. I am now back on the shakes (stopped them for 1 day) and it's seemed to cure the problem. Now I will probably end up with constipation lol.

 

[ducatidiva]

Oooh join the constipation club LOL, my senokot have stopped working - I am going to take double dose tonight and if that doesnt work I'm going for a colonic!!!

 

[ravenbeauty5]

Yeah yeah you keep saying that and never do!!!

 

[Sedalia]

Forget colonic, get some psyllium husks and put them in your shakes.

 

[SarahJane]

Hi, i hope you are feeling better, are things improving??

Are senocot allowed on this diet??

 

[ducatidiva]

Yeah yeah you keep saying that and never do!!!

I know I know LOL, its just the thought of £65 down the drain, quite literally!!!!

 

[ducatidiva]

Forget colonic, get some psyllium husks and put them in your shakes.

I've *seen* them, and the thought makes my skin crawl!!! They are not going anywhere near my mouth!

Besides I've been wanting to have a colonic for years...

Though this morning after 2 senokot max things at last are on the move. Hurrah!!

Yes SJ, you are allowed senokot on VLCDs

 

[ravenbeauty5]

Just think of all the money you have saved on wine and takeaways!!! That will pay for it 5 times over!! Its something that is good for you!!

 

[ducatidiva]

Hmm yes this is true... plus I am not having reflexology any more....
Hey have you started CD this morning? Hows it going?
