So for the last two months I have been having diarrhea almost every evening, no matter what I eat during the day. I am not on any medication, so that can’t be the cause. I have taken some antidiarretic, but that doesn’t always help. And sometimes I have the diarrhea through out the night, so I don’t get very good sleep. What could it be? And how do I stop it?

He’s 10 months old, and is having some allergy issues. We have to find a food that works, but it’s causing diarrhea switching his food every 2-4 weeks.

Has anyone ever given their dog Immodium?
I wouldn’t give him medication without checking with my vet. But since she charges for phone consultations, I thought I would check here first to see if it was even possible.

I am interested in knowing how much discomfort is involved with no drugs. I have had 1 colonoscopy with fentanyl and versed.

If you are in the medical profession and perform or assist during colonoscopies…I would like to also know that if you are under conscious sedation - how does the doctor know you need more medication for pain? Can you speak or are you mostly asleep? I am trying to decide what drugs (if any) for my next colonoscopy. After my colonoscopy, the doctor told my husband that "she did fine. What does that mean - exactly?

My dog just had puppies last week and has had diarrhea for the last 4 days. I called my Vet and they took a stool sample and said it was fine. He said to give her Kaopectate and see if this helps. Nope, she still has it. Plus I do not want to give her too much medication since her pups will get that too. I am calling the Vet again tomorrow, but thought I would ask now: What else should I try?

I remember seeing an ad on television about two people that went on vacation together, the woman took this medication/supplement and the guy did not. The woman was out enjoying the beach and nightlife, while the man was miserable (diarrhea,vomitting perhaps). It was not imodium, pepto nor kaopectate. What is the medicine/supplement called???

I am taking the knock off of Prozac called flouxitine and am having abdominal pain?
Is this because of the medication? I have only been on it four days. It hapened today and two days ago. It feels like my abdomin is tying to Burst out of me.

The Vet has seen him twice, put him on 2 different antibiotics. While taking the antibiotics, the diarrhea subsides, only to return 36 hours after stopping the medication. The puppy is a Rottweiler, about 13 weeks old, and has been tested for Parvo. We’re worried about him because he is on special food that is gentle for the intestinal system as well, though nothing seems to be working.

This is a serious question ; I am on an antibiotic called clindamyacin; for those of you who know its pretty potent and has some poteltial nasty side effects; I was very sick with a surprise abcess on my chin that welled my face up like i had eggs in my mouth, so I am grateful for it as after 4 days there’s hardly a trace of the nasty infection.
However I’ve had the runs all day fairly frequently and its sore in that area now.
I am this close to taking an immodium or something. The instructions on the paper said mild diarrhea is a known side effect but moderate to severe is different as the medication is known to cause ulcerative colitis while on it or even after taking it.

So, what’s the actual difference clinically between mild and moderate to severe diarrhea?

This is an antibiotic for ear infections. My son is on day 3 of 10 of this stuff and already has mild diarrhea. Dr says to finish the medication and does not have any advice other than giving yogurt, which I do, but it doesn’t help. The symptoms of ear infection are gone. Are there any pro-biotic supplements or anti-diarrheal treatment safe for 5-year old kids? Note that my son is big for his age, he weighs 52lb. Thanks!
