    You could be lactose intolerant. From a lot I have read that can cause stomach cramps and diarrhea. There are over the counter meds for that. You should try them.

    Sorry to hear that Susan. Did you go to see the nutritionist?

    i am looking for suggestions for liquid diet, I am sure I have read them on this forum. Home made soup OK as long as blitzed with no beans? Yogurt?  Anybody use meal replacement drinks?

    I seem. to have to stay off solids for quite a while otherwise all starts up again, but between no food and no sleep I have trouble coping.

    thanks for any help

      I am seeing nutritionist in September and having a sigmoidoscopy on the 31st of this month. So I will see what they say   It's settling down now. Hope it stays that way x

    I find Slippery Elm food supplement from the health shop really soothing.

    Hope you feel better soon. It's 8 weeks since I was in hospital and still feel "out of sorts""- waiting for appointment to see the consultant. Finding this forum has helped me keep my sanity!!biggrin
