Reply to "Constant watery diarrhea 20+ times a day"

Parrr, I hope you find out what is causing your difficulties. It's hard, I know, but younwill get through this in time. My first few months I was so desperate because of frequency (every 15 minutes, every 1/2 hour). I eventually got better around eight months when everything seemed to mature and settle down.

Until you find out what's causing it, remember to protect your skin from your burning and frequent output. Try using a plastic bidet squeeze bottle. Use it with warm water to rinse your bottom after every bowel movement to wash away any stool residue. Keep that area clean and dry and hopefully your skin will not break down from your frequent and acidic output. If it does become raw, that is not unusual so try not to worry. It will heal as soon as your output settles down. During the first few weeks of my recovery I used the squeeze bottle, carefully dabbing completely dry. I used Zincofax to protect the skin and heal abrasions. The travel bidet was so important I installed an attachment on the toilet, hot and cold water (Amazon)!  Be patient; it is very, very early in your recovery. Your new system is trying hard to learn how to live its new life and how to function for you. I ate zucchini and that helped give some substance and "ease" to my output. PEEL, drizzle with olive oil, single layer on a baking sheet or tray, put in the oven or a toaster oven at 325F until soft. Later on, when you've recovered, you will be able to eat the skin, but not now. Good luck, Parrr.
