Hi. I had a total colectomy (polyps for Gardner's Syndrome) and instead of the ileotomy device, they did a re-section. Since then, I am on two different anti-diarrhea medications, benefiber tablets (up to 15 a day) but still have frequent bouts of diarrhea (acid). I wondered if any one else had or has been dealing with this and what they have come up with to lessen the pain and discomfort.

For awhile I was using the Depends and diaper cream to keep things under the best control I could, but after many attempts at food and drink, I have found a lot of "triggers". I did find a cream to help with the bum being burned (calmoseptine at the drug store). But as of yet, I am not able to work full days nor be to far from a bathroom and I never really know when or why a severe attack will happen.
