You have diarrhea and fecal incontinence Tests show no parasites or blood What gives?

Answer 1

If you have the odd bout of diarrhea and constipation then it's probably a poor diet and not enough water. You should be eating bran, whole grains and lots of other fibers like leafy greens (brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc.) Also at least go for one half walk a day or evening or work out at a gym; ride a bike or go jogging with a friend. If you have bad bouts of diarrhea, feel lethargic, loss of appetite and have more diarrhea than being constipated discuss with your doctor that you would like to be tested for wheat gluten problems. The test is painless and relatively simple. They put a little freezing in your throat, put a small tube down with a camera on the end. The reason I ask you to do the above is my husband started off like you and eventually he had constant diarrhea that left him extremely dehydrated. He was tested for many things which all came back negative. He suddenly because so weak I admitted him into ER and the very last test was a wheat-gluten problem. Neither of us had ever heard of this, but we sure know about it now. It's called CELIAC DISEASE! This means no bran, rye, oats or wheat. Now that we know we have met so many people with this problem. My husband is now doing well and his diet is pretty much the same with the exception of any wheat-gluten products so bread has to be bought from Health Food Stores. He has no diarrhea and is regular in bowel movements once again. I am not trying to scare you, but if all else fails then please have your doctor get you in for that test for Celiac Disease (wheat-gluten.) I'd sure like to hear you are feeling much better.
