Herbs - Diarrhea


Expert: Dr. Man Tran, Ph.D., D.C., L.Ac. - 1/19/2009

Question
After drinking the golightly prep for a coloscopy in '06 I have experience diarrhea that initially was 10-15 times per day. I have been on probiotics, Zantax, GI tonic, Peppermint tablets, and had acupuncture. I continue to experience loose stools anywhere from 4-6 times per day. I have tried clear liquids, brat diet, and not eating without a lot of success, although somewhat better. I have lost 30 lbs in one year without really trying and my hair is falling out. What am I missing, can you suggest something else?

Answer
Hi Judith,

Your condition is a complex matter when dealing with the gastrointestinal function.  The best advice I can give is to see an herbalist or Acupuncturist who prescribes herbs.  They should be able to do an examination and find out the root of the problem and properly give you the right amount and type of herbs.
