[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to give diet changes at least a 5 month trial.

It took me 2 years of diet changes and eating the few food regimen to go into remission and have normal bms.  [/quote]

This is absolutely not recommended. The elimination phase of the low FODMAP diet is nutritionally deficient. It is not advised to stay in the elimination phase for any more than 2-4 weeks. [/quote]

If you have explosive loose stool for years that is also nutritionally deficient.  In my case it took many months to reduce the inflammation in my gut.  Someone with loose stool will by definition be nutritionally deficient.  I have normal bm's and normal digestion but it really took 2 years of the few foods regimen to get there.  It takes a long time for the gut to heal. It is quicker for young people, longer for older people.[/quote]

I’m thinking you have no idea how the digestive system works. Diarrhea is typically caused by the large intestine failing to absorb enough water. Nutrients are principally absorbed in the small intestine. People with diarrhea may have issues with their small intestine, but they absolutely don’t have to. It’s perfectly possible to have chronic, explosive diarrhea and zero nutritional issues.[/quote]
