I have the same problem and i have found that soluble fiber works the best.  The only place that I have been able to find it is online at helpforibs.com, you can order it from there.  Also there are some recipes and other things that might be helpful if you haven't already seen the website.

Gut Problems...Relief\n\nThe food and water you eat and drink the food water you don't eat and drink could relieve your IBS and more.\n\nTo begin with, IBS or Irritable is not a disease but rather a denfense system. It is a gut indicator that your body is toxic. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results without changing behaviors. Many people want good health but they want a magic pill to fix them so they can continue with their life just as it was before their health failed.\n\nGut problems and most diseases are indicators that you are out of alkaline/acid balance. Imagine your body as car battery. If you give your car battery a proper acid and water balance then it will give your body the boost it needs to wake up in the morning and keep giving you a proper amount of current to keep all of its electrical systems. You don't even think about your car battery unless something starts going wrong with your electrical systems. If you have gut problems, your body like a battery may start but it will start showing signs that it is in decline. IBS and 95% of all health issues are indicators that should be telling you that your battery low on water or has an improper amount of acid. It is easy to add distilled water to your human body but just like a car, many of us ignore the signal until we have a dead cell. Unlike a car though, you can't throw out your body and start over. Our bodies are an amazing battery though and if you give it the proper acid and water it needs,\nyou can relieve your IBS, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia or Leaky Gut, Hormonal Imbalance, Diabetes, Parasites, HIV, Gout, Allergies, Psoriasis, Cancer and every other disease.\n\nThere may be a cure for IBS in the sense that you may some day be capable of eating toxic foods and drinking toxic water again but if you have gut problems then be aware that it is like the red light going off on the the dash of your car. Many people want to run to a doctor to get their body to stop sending that signal.Doctors are good at masking symptoms without addressing the cause of the problem. If you take drugs to mask the signals your body is giving you then you may get temporary relief that prevents your body you sending you a danger signal but consistently ignoring our body may lead to chronic illness. Make some dietary and lifestyle changes and you may overcome disease and any gut problems or health condition you might have.\n\nMany other people around you may eat the same food you eat and drink the same water you drink and they may appear healthy but for you that same food and water may cause your body to give you a warning signal that you are poisoning yourself. IBS could be a big red flag that you need to eat or drink something different than what other people eat and drink. Imagine there are 5 kinds of people in the world and for 4 of those kinds people, what you eat might be considered food to their body but for you of the fifth kind of people, what you eat could be considered a toxic chemical. Eat and drink what is right for you and your body.\n\nAn elimination diet could help to isolate what is causing your body to warn you that it is being poisoned. Start in the morning and quit one thing that you normally eat or drink for breakfast. If it is coffee, milk, tap water, or even a piece of toast, pick one thing to quit putting in your gut. Give it a week and if you feel some relief, you should consider eliminating this food and substituting a more healthy alternative. Move on to lunch then dinner and identify then eliminate what your body is telling you is toxic. Discover what is causing your body to send up a danger signal and you may no longer have IBS related gastro-intesinal disturbances.\n\nMilk and other dairy products- are the end product of a cow that has had toxins pumped into it from birth and for all of its life. Vaccines and hormones are pumped into milk cows to fatten her up and to increase her milk production. Vaccin

Are you eating enough fiber?  Doesn't sound like it.  Fiber will not only help you to go poop, it will also help even you out so you neither have constipation OR diarrhea. \n\nStay away from spicy foods, high "gas" foods (like cauliflower, beans, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli) and eat more whole grains (brown rice, whole wheat pasta) and baked-not mashed-potatoes.  Of course lots of veggies....except tomatoes.  That will make your symptoms worse.

Same thing happened to me.  I was lactose intolerant and had IBS.  You have to cleanse your system and then learn which foods are causing it.  Seriously, until you flush your system, everything you eat will cause it.

I know what you are talking about, certain foods like this Red Meat, eggs, etc. can be hard to digest for some people.  Have you ever heard of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)? You might want to ask your doc, about this and see if you might have some of the tendecies of IBS.  And also there are some books out there about this too.\n\nKristina

Please listen to me on this - I can help you!!!!\nYou are probably wheat intolerant! Cut out wheat in all its forms for a minimum of a month, thats bread, pasta, pastry, cake - everything. its difficult, really difficult but if you stick to it you will see a major improvement. Im not some quack but recently discovered that I was intolerant to wheat and after a week of cutting it out completly my life had changed.Now 4 months later its completly different. My IBS symptoms disappeared, I lost a stone and a half, my mild ecxema disappeared - I have suffered from hay fever all of my life - gone totaly! Im sleeping better and even stopped snoring.\nI probably sound a little evangelical about it but the effect on my life and health have been profound. Its really difficult at times - when you want to grab a sandwich you cant and lots of my favourite foods are on the "dont even go there" list but the benefits outweigh the bad stuff.\nTry it it WILL work

Hi Superbad\n\nHere are some ideas on how to better your condition.\n\nCauses\nIBS can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor diet and nutrition, food allergies, imbalanced levels of hydrochloric acid, impaired immunity, infections, lack of exercise, pharmaceutical drugs, and stress.\n\n\nQuick Action Plan for IBS\n\n1. Avoid all sugars, refined flour products, and carbohydrates, milk and dairy products, processed foods that contain preservatives and artificial sweeteners, alcohol, hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils, as well as foods that are common allergens. \n\n2. Emphasize organic, fresh vegetables and non-citrus fruits, organic grains, as well as organic, free-range meats and poultry and wild-caught fish. \n\n3. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day. \nCleansing and Detoxification therapy such as short fasts, elimination diets, and colonics. DO a Colon Cleanse.\n\n4. Enteric-coated peppermint oil and aloe vera juice. \n\n5. Soothing baths two to five nights a week, as well as alternating hot and cold water packs placed over the abdomen. \n\n6. Use Probiotics and soil-based organisms. \n\n7. Therapeutic juices include wheatgrass juice; cabbage, papaya, and carrot juice. \n\n8. Stress reduction techniques, such as biofeedback, hypnosis, and meditation. \n\n9. If you are a smoker, stop and refrain from taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. \n\n10. Examine the possibility of withheld emotions as the cause of your symptoms and get support through emotional and physical expression, especially movement therapies such as NIA, Qi gong, Yoga or Total Integration Therapy to name a few options. \n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

Have you seen a specialist about this problem?  I would make an appointment with one if I was you.  I guess it would be like a gastrointestinal doctor.  You could have something like Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea.  There are medications for something like that.  I am not a doctor, but I would definitely continue to go to them until one can help you.  Good luck!

My aunt has had diarrhea for years but none of us knew.  When we found out, my wife told her about a mangosteen juice health drink that we use.  My aunt started taking 2 ounces a day and within 1 month she was totally regular.  She'd tried everything before that so it is amazing what the juice did.  Here is more info if she's interested in reading more: http://www.kimandjeffmacmillan.natureswellnesssecret.com/\nAlso, this website has many testimonials for various conditions including IBS: http://205.234.239.246/index.htm\nTell your friend good luck...

I'm sure you know having been diagnosed with Chronic Pancreatitis that your diet is a main topic of the problem.  If you are eating ANY kind of fatty foods, you are simply pouring gasoline on that fire.  Also, have they given you any other tests such as an ERCP, Endoscope, Colonoscopy, Upper GI, Lower GI or maybe even an MRI?  I just recently spent 14 days in the hospital getting regular doses of pain and nausea medication and had all of these test ran.  Luckily I do not have Pancreatitis, but I do have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which is also diet related (lack of fiber usually); also there is a disease known as Crones Disease that have the same type of symptoms.  I think that maybe you should seek medical attention from a well known Gastrointestinal specialist.  It could be more than your pancreas.

HAVE YOU TRIED OTC?? I KNEW SOMEBODY ONCE WHO WAS  LACTOSE INTOLERANT WHO COULDN'T  TAKE OTC CHEWABLES BECAUSE HE WAS ALSO IBS.  FOR HIM,(LUCKY GUY) HIS WIFE  IS A CERTIFIED HERBALIST  SO SHE  SIMPLY FEEDS HIM  ALL THE THINGS HE NEEDS TO MAKE UP FOR THAT.  MAYBE YOU SHOULD  FIND A CERTIFIED HERBALIST,  COULD BE AT YOUR LOCAL PHARMACY OR HERBAL STORE!!!!!!!  YOU COULD TRY THAT AND  MAYBE EVEN MEET SOME INTERESTING  PERSON OR MAYBE EVEN  LEARN SOMETHING NEW!!  GOOD LUCK!!

Irritable Bowel, psychiatric causes, food and or drug allergies are other potential causes.  Any new stresses in the last six months?  Dietary or lifestyle changes?  \n\nTry to think of anything that may have coincided with or be related to the onset of your symptoms.  Think of what brings on the symptoms, prolongs them or shortens them, makes them more or less intense, affects them in any way.\n\nOften, it is hard to think of anything that is related, especialy after so many tests, but it is a way to find answers.  Consider keeping a diary of your symptoms and observations to help find associations with diet, activity, daily stressors, etc.\n\nShare your fidnings with your doctor(s) see if they spark any thoughts about possible causes.  Best wishes - I hope your symptoms resolve soon.  Take some solace in the fact that alot of really bad things have been eliminated as possible causes.

First of all, are you stress out, under pressure from work, job, etc. Second of all, what is diet like? High fiber, fruit, fats, vegs, alot of milk products, etc. can cause a problems. Next is it loose or formed? After this, please consider that you may have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), colitis or something other. If a all possible, got to your primary care provider. Tell him or her. There are all kinds of medications out there that can help you. Hope this helps.
