Seasonal Affliction
by virgo57, May 30, 2002 12:00AM
Every March and every September I get these bouts of diahrea which last for up to 3 weeks at least 20 times a day I am on the toilet gushing out brown water at times. My doctor put me on antibiotics and by the time they are finished the diahrea is gone and I am back to normal...until September rolls in and I get it all over again. My doctor seems to think it dietary but I am having my doubts since I have switched my milk to lactaid and cut my caffine intake to only one cup in the morning.
The only time I have this is in the spring and fall ..no other time of the year. It is almost like something is dormant inside of me and acts up in these times. I mentioned to the doctor that it might be a possibilty to be H pylori as I do get the odd burning in my stomach and suffer alot of heartburn but he tells me that H Pylori does not cause seasonal diahrea.
If anyone has suffered these symptoms I would appreciate any input..thankyou.
