    Hallo Poshette. I'm thinking 2 things.

    1]Have you tried leaving all things that contain dairy out of your diet? Milk, yoghurt, cheese etc etc.

    2] Have you seen a doctor about this. There is something called BAM...Bile acid malabsorption, which can be tested.

    why don't you ring your doctors? in extreme circumstances your doctor may come out to you. it's worth a try!

      If you are in UK Sam I dont think any doctors do home visits now and thats not an emergency that Poshette is describing.

    Poshette, Dr Collis Brownes medicine is not recommended anymore. Try taking one Imodium if you are going out....that should be better for you. Its easy to find on most supermarket shelves. If you havent seen a doctor about this situation do try to get a consultation. Are you in UK?
