Hi everyone,

I'm now 4 weeks out from finishing treatment. 

I just wanted to know if anybody has had trouble with diarrhea constantly seeping out. I am passing normal stools as well and always have a pressure feeling as if i need to go. I'm going through a pack of sanitary towels every day and this has now been since Monday so 4 days. I did get it every few days but now it's constant. 

I have been told to eat a beige diet and take a maintenance dose of 2 loperamide daily but it's not making a bit of difference. 

I'm going stir crazy just constantly going to the toilet to clean myself up and I just can't get to do anything else.

  • Thanks so much Julie x funnily enough my job is helping people manage their weight and some clients choose to use that! I have never had to use anything and still a bit worried about messing up things x I will try the psyllium husk  xxx 

  • Hi Lynn , 

    im 19 weeks post treatment , always had the digestive issues , mainly nausea , no appetite , bloating and what felt like a constant lump in the bottom !!! The past few days have seen the loose stools , anxiety and feeling house bound !! I’m taking the Imodium , not sure about eating as my daily food diary hasn’t revealed any culprits .. same foods each day with different outcomes !!! I suppose we take comfort in knowing we not alone on this journey , albeit different side effects at different times 

    take care
