Malabsorption?

Posted , 6 users are following.

A year or so ago, I suddenly fell ill with unbearable abdominal pain. Since, I have been to many doctors and have had most common ailments ruled out. For a year now, I've had dirreaha along with the pain. And it's a horrible kind. It... it has a sticky texture, and sticks to me. I have to shower after going to the bathroom, it's to that point. I have no clue as to why it has done this. I've done dietary changes and am on a healthy diet that should not be producing this. Besides this, the stool has undigested foods mixed in. Since changing my diet to simpler foods such as veggies, rice, and grains. I can literally see them in my stool. Rice no longer digests, and I have to deal with the sludge and whole particles that come out.

I'm not sure what to do. The doctors have been of no help and have shrugged there shoulders saying ibs.

I'm very frustrated, I've dropped so much weight and I have to constantly eat to keep my current weight.

Do any of you have any ideas? I've also tried most medicines... Imodium, pepto bismal, anti spasm medications, and anti depressants could not stop the dirreaha. I've had it every day for a year... with no normal bowel movements...
