If the ER didn't find anything obvious, I'd suggest you look into a other options - Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Chron's or Colitis, and allergies - especially any type of wheat or flour. The symptoms seem to match.\n\nHer family doc will help with this, and none of them can be determinied by blood test or xray (except colonoscopy (colon xray)- very unpleasant but if necessary they will sedate her.)\n\nMy son had IBD for quite a while before we knew what it was (5 Years?) .  He's 21 now and doing fine -mind you he must be careful what he eats - and that includes kids favourites like pop and fruit punch - pure juices only - and no canned crap like spaghetti-o's, alphabets, etc.\n\nTime for a full diet change and maybe she will begin to feel better - it can take months.\n\nGood luck!

Ulcerative colitis is quite dangerous if not taken care of.\n\nIt is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is a general name for diseases that cause the intestine to become inflamed. Ulcerative colitis is a form of IBD in which the inner lining of the large intestine becomes inflamed, swollen, and ulcerated. The inflammation usually begins in the lower end of the large intestine, called the sigmoid colon, which empties into the rectum. (Inflammation of the rectum only is called proctitis.) When the rectum and large intestine become inflamed, water can’t be absorbed into the blood stream, which causes diarrhea. Eventually, the inflammation spreads throughout the large intestine, with the exception of the last section called the ileum. The small intestine is not affected.\n\nSome of the long term effects include severe bleeding that may require blood transfusions, Toxic megacolon (a dangerous condition where the colon becomes extremely distended (swollen), causing a person to become severely ill, with a distended belly and a high fever. The colon expands and becomes paralyzed. Occasionally, it may rupture. If this occurs, up to 30 percent may not survive it. The diagnosis is confirmed by simple x-ray of the abdomen) and Perforation (a hole in the colon), which can cause widespread infection and can be life threatening.\n\nIf you have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, follow the treatment plan your doctor has recommended. Avoid any foods or beverages that cause indigestion. If you have diarrhea, drink only clear liquids. Get plenty of rest and continue to have regular checkups.\n\nPlease browse through the following websites for more information.\n\nGod bless and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Take frequent, small sips of water or a rehydration drink and small bites of salty crackers. \nTry to increase your fluid intake to at least 1 qt (1 L) per hour for 1 to 2 hours or until diarrhea symptoms disappear. \nBegin eating mild foods the next day or sooner, depending on how you feel. \nTry yogurt that contains live cultures of Lactobacillus. Not all forms of yogurt do; read the label carefully. Frozen yogurt does not contain Lactobacillus. \nAvoid spicy foods, fruits, alcohol, and caffeine until 48 hours after all symptoms have disappeared. \nAvoid chewing gum that contains sorbitol. \nAvoid dairy products for 3 days after symptoms disappear. \nNonprescription medication may be helpful in treating your diarrhea.

Do not use nonprescription antidiarrheal medications if you have bloody diarrhea, a high fever, or other signs of serious illness.

the preparation you dread can be done several ways.  GoLytely is a standard salt solution and a typical prep.  It cleans your colon out by stimulating diarrhea and you can expect 15-20 bowel movements as you finish the gallon jug of GoLytely.  Towards the end, your bm is clear fluid, and you're done and ready.  Other preps are are magnesium citrate or fleet's phosphosoda... they essentially do the same thing with lower volume required to drink.  Finally, some people experience nausea as they are trying to drink all this and so an antiemetic is somtimes prescribed (eg reglan).  Be sure to not skimp on the prep, as if the gastroenterologist cannot see the sidewalls of your colon, you'll have to repeat the whole process.  Hope it goes well.

Insufficient hydration (caused by not drinking enough water, or by drinking too much diuretic liquid such as coffee or cola) can cause a hard stool, which can lead to hemorrhoidal irritation. An excess of lactic acid in the stool, a product of excessive consumption of milk products such as cheese, can cause irritation and a reduction of consumption can bring relief. Vitamin E deficiency is also a common cause. Excessive alcohol consumption can cause diarrhea which in turn can cause hemorrhoidal irritation. Oriental Medicine practitioners often warn against consuming excessive spicy & greasy foods when hemorroids flare up.\n\nPrevention of hemorrhoids includes drinking more fluids, eating more dietary fiber, exercising, practicing better posture, and reducing bowel movement strain and time. Hemorrhoid sufferers should avoid using laxatives and should strictly limit time straining during bowel movement. Wearing tight clothing and underwear will also contribute to irritation and poor muscle tone in the region and promote hemorrhoid development. Some sufferers report a more comfortable experience without underwear or wearing only very lightweight panties, etc.\n\nStraining can be lessened by defecating in a standing position, knees slightly bent. This position seems to use the muscles of the abdomen to expel feces preventing a strain on the anus. Fluids emitted by the intestinal tract may contain irritants that may increase the fissures associated with hemorrhoids. Washing the anus with cool water and soap may reduce the swelling and increase blood supply for quicker healing and may remove irritating fluid.\n\nfor more go please to a doctor

I have Crohn's (13 years of 20) and my gastro has always told me to eat whatever i can tolerate. excluding corn and other hulled veggies. smoothies are the best thing.you can put supplements and such. avoid lots of orange juice though. it'll really cause diarrhea. of everything i've tried, smoothies have been the easiest on my guts. like the last poster said, avoid lots of seeds(strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, black/blueberries)they do not digest. there are so many recipes and you can buy them pre-made. it's something easy that you won't get burnt out on. also, while having a flare up, don't eat raw fruits and vegetables, they are incredibly hard to digest. owww! if you want your 5 a day, cook them down to mush and then chew it very well. or if you can handle it try v8- although it's rather acidic, and your bowel movements will be red. just keep that in mind so you don't panic when you go to flush and see red. hope this helps.

If you have it every morning, you need to see a doctor. This is not normal. You have a health problem that needs attention. If it's just been a couple of days, you could try simple, bland foods like toast, rice, tea to give your digestive system a rest. I would definitely give milk a break, that usually makes diarrhea worse.

Celiac Sprue causes mainly diarrhea. the child is allergic to gluten, therefore s/he can't absorb it from the gastrointestinal tract (the gut). These excess gluten causes what's called an osmotic diarrhea, the substance attracts water, the excess water causes the lose stool. The diagnosis is made (I'm not a 100% sure) with a stool sample.
