What can you do to prevent diarrhea?
5 years ago I went on a trip overseas and got sick. Since then I’ve had diarrhea on a fairly regular basis for a long time. I had tests done when I came back but everything came out normal. My doctor said I might have IBS because they can’t figure out what else it could be and she said IBS is common for women in their mid to late 20s. Last year when I was 29 I went back overseas again and got sick but the medicine made me a lot better and ever since then my stomach has been better. But I still have a sensitive stomach. I do get diarrhea once in a while but not as severely as before. I try to eat less dairy since my doctor suggested that, less meat (especially steak or burgers), drink less coffee, etc. and I try not to overeat at buffets or restaurants. But I still seem to get diarrhea more than the average person and once in a great while I get shivers too (maybe once every year or 2 years). I don’t know how to make my stomach hold food together better. I don’t want to be constipated but I just don’t want to worry about whether every meal I eat is going to agree with me. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi,
There is something called travelers diarrhea. It happened to me on a road trip, every rest stop of over 600 miles i was running to the bathroom. Bananas and rice is supposed to stop you up enuf to enjoy eating, and sometimes the food and water in other states and countries could do it if you have the sensitive stomach.
Try eating a LOT of cheese and meat.
That might bind you up.
i would really advise you to ask your dr about crohn’s disease, my mother was diagnose with crohns after 5years of being told it was IBS. it took her losing 11 stone for them to actually diagnose it!
its not just the older generation that suffer this it can be people in their mid, early and late 20s
just to add my mum is 55
my mum had to have part of her bowel removed because they did not catch it in time and she has suffered to no end, and still suffers now however has managed to avoid having a colostomy bag. i urge you to put this to your doctor just to be sure.
