So, Ive been having between soft formed, to no form, to runny diarrhea for what seems like quite awhile aka over a year. The confusing thing is that I had my gall bladder removed 3 years ago so I'll get loose stools from consuming fat....but

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I ceased herbs, mineral supplements, and B-Complex to do a urine test(which I ended up NOT doing-another story). Well I had, for the most part, actual normal b.m's...until this morning and today eeeek! Well last night I decided to start back up on the herbs and took the full dose alongwith the mineral and B-complex, and then this morn I took 2 L-lysine on empty stomach.

I also worry about my high liver enzymes. Sheeesh, theres just too many vatiables to discern the cause of my diarrhea

Best advice is BRAT diet until your intestines get better.

Bananas
Rice
Apples
Toast

This is what I did when I went through the diarrhea phase of my treatment.

Then I reintroduced the herbs nice and slow again and I was fine. I have no idea what was the cause.

Try taking some Floristor (saccharomyces boulardii). Its pricey but it helps until your gut heals better. Start slow with one a day, then increase. I was up to 4 capsules a day, then backed down and eventually stopped all together.
