I’ve had chronic diarrhea for about 4 months. My stools can be completely watery, and this happens even when I eat very simple foods. Sometimes it seems to happen even when I haven’t eaten much.

What’s unusual is that I don’t have abdominal pain, vomiting, fever, or significant fatigue. I mainly have watery stools and urgency.

My diarrhea does not wake me up from sleep.

Occasionally I see a small amount of clear, jelly-like mucus in the stool, but it doesn’t happen every time.

I take psyllium husk (ispaghula). It sometimes makes my stool more formed, especially when I eat rice, but it is inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and if I eat other foods it may not help much.

I’m trying to understand what could cause painless chronic watery diarrhea like this.

For people who have experienced something similar, what was eventually found to be the cause, and what actually helped you?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who had watery diarrhea for months without abdominal pain or nighttime diarrhea.

Been suffering from constipation for almost 5 years now.

Diagnosed with h pylori at 16. Got cured after medications but constipated since then.

Tried laxatives, fibre rich food but nothing works in the long term.

Bloated also.

Laxatives work only until i consume them, that too not with full efficiency.

What to do??

I like poop once in 10 days.

So I made my second batch of 36 hour luvelle yog maker fermented lactose free milk L reut, gasseri, rhamanos, 12 strain bottle from a brand I was told to add.

I am extremely bloated this batch. Maybe I added too much of the last two?

Had anyone even had any improvement from these fancy home made yogurts. The homeopath told me to try it.

3 weeks in and nothing.

I’m gonna try an Ibs rx. I have tried EVERY rx , supp, diet, gut hypno, fasting etc nothing works for this non stop bloat and constip. I really wanna die. I’m a balloon.

I have been belching for the past months and everything I drink or eat anything I burp constantly everyday and it’s so loud and annyoning. Even when I get up I burp right away I feel like I have been gas too sometimes farts are hard to come out. Please guys any tips for this to go away I need help I went to the GI Doctor today but I want some opinions and options on what you guys did

I decided to give ashwaganda a try for the first time Saturday lunch time. Game changer for my anxiety as my cortisol levels have been through the rough lately. I definitely felt super dopey all day, though, but Saturday night, I had an amazing sleep. So I took another dose Sunday afternoon but felt that maybe the dosage was too much to be able to function during the daytime. That night, my sleep wasn't as good. I woke at 12pm and I was sweaty and stomach was cramping. Monday morning woke with diahorreah. So I took ashwaganda Monday night instead of during the day. Monday nights sleep was terrible, and I woke with diahorreah and night sweats again. Decided not to take it Tuesday night and try 5-HTP instead. Slept until 2am but it didn't feel deep and I was sweating like crazy this time. Also, I still have abdominal aches and pains. Has anyone else experienced this with these supplements? I took tablet form. HealthyCare High Strength dry root 13.5g (13500mg) Clinicians 5-HTP 50mg

Hi. So about a month ago I started having eating issues like halfway through every single meal extreme(all)fatigue, dizziness, and sickness(nausea) then 2 weeks later it was that combined with soft stool and headaches and racing heart (have had migraines since I was 15) and I’d need to sleep immediately after eating or I’d end up in fetal position in bed crying. Then on last Friday, it was terrible. I mean heart racing above 150’s straight Hershey squirts sweating constantly but my feet are freezing (sweating thing was a few days before and stayed once it showed up even tho my room is at a constant temp of 63 Fahrenheit) whole world was spinning dark vision in the edges shaking like fucking crazy even tho my blood sugar was normal and I went to urgent care they told me nothing was wrong but sent me a referral to a specialist and I see them tomorrow but does anyone relate even in the slightest. I’m like desperate here.

Over the last 2-3 maybe even 4 days I have tried taking Stool Softeners, didn't work. I tried drinking coffee once, didn't work. then I tried eating fruit and apples and oranges, didn't work. then I tried taking Miralax, thought that was gonna work but it didn't. then this morning I drank 2 cups of Coffee and still haven't went and I know there's shit in there. I know there is. So what the hell is happening and how can I fix this issue? if I go to the hospital, will they help me? what are they going to do? I have been dealing with this for almost 2 years now and I'm about sick of this goddamn issue. it's a pain in my ass quite literally sometimes. someone please help me. tell me some secret. Is there something I can take that is guaranteed to make me go? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. I've gotten so desperate that I've been praying to GOD to make me go while crying. This is misery and this sucks. Also I have gone to the hospital before but they rarely ever do anything to help me. they just tell me what to do and eat and I listen to them and nothing has really changed. For context, I ate a Pizza like maybe 4 days ago and ever since then it's been hell for my Bowels

I've been constipated for over 6 months. Metamucil and MiraLAX don't do anything for me no matter how much I try. The only things that actually work are herbal supplements with Cape Aloe, Buckthorn Bark, Cascara Sagrada, and Rhubarb Root.

Problem is, I just found out these ingredients are pretty dangerous:

Cascara Sagrada was banned by the FDA as unsafe

Long-term use of all of them can cause low potassium, heart problems, kidney/liver damage

I'm taking them daily and I'm worried

What's everyone else using that actually works and won't destroy my organs? Has anyone else had this where the "safe" options just don't work?

Hi, f23 I have symptoms of low digestive power, i feel the food stil there in my stomach over night and when i wake up. In addition to having sever bad breath, weak heart burn, sour taste on my mouth after eating, consistent burps after eating and bloating. I evacuate nearly regular, but i feel discomfort whenever i eat. Currently started to take metformin and i feel it added up to my problem I drink apple vinegar diluted with water before lunch but didn't do much. I naturally eat slowly and trying as much as possible to be mindful while eating. I know its a vagues nerve issue but what can i do besides relaxing to help my digestion?

Four years ago, I was on several types of antibiotics for a total of a month for a sinus infection. This has left my stomach with permanent distention. Within the first 8 months, my gut was able to heal a bit, and the distention became significantly less severe. However, there has been no improvement since then, and the distention and bloating still persists. I never had any stomach related issues prior to this as well. After putting this issue off for too long, I want to tackle it. I recently spoke with a dietician who recommended I start with doing a food log and describing foods that make my stomach more bloated, before doing an elimination diet. Has anyone had any success in healing their gut in similar situations to this? Any recommendations for supplements I should take or practices I should start doing?
