about once a week or so take or give a few though I get really nauseated and lightheaded. Then I use the bathroom anywhere from 5 to 10 times in about 2 or 3 hours and the stool is so lose its like water. I was wondering if this happens to anyone else.

History: jpouch created in march of 2007. On a good day I use the bathroom about 6 times or so. This situation has only been happening off and on now for about 2 months.

thank you...

Angela,

I think I experience what you're talking about. The occurrence is not consistent, but I do have times where this happens. I get a headache, start to feel nauseus and gassy/bloaty. Sometimes it passes. Other times I end up with a period of runny, watery stool.

The interesting thing I have noticed is that after the diarrhea, I seem to be better than ever the next day. I theorize I must be purging some bad bacteria out with the diarrhea or something which makes things better. How is the next day for you?

Hey, the next day for me is lik any other day it is not exceptionaly better. just like nothing happened...Angela

I was hoping I could get somemore feedback.... It is so hard to post and have no one reply.... PLEASE I need some help

Angela, I'm sorry that you're still feeling this way. My first reaction was that you're dehydrated, because when I don't drink enough I get nauseous and lightheaded and also get a bad headache. Sometimes I don't realize that's what it is until my eyes get blurry, that seems to be my signal that I'm in trouble. I also get a headache that won't go away regardless of how many tylenol I take. Once I start drinking vitamin water or gatorade it starts to subside. As far as the diahrea goes, whenever I am nauseous that seems to go along with it, but I've always been like that.

Do you think that maybe there are times when you don't drink enough? Sometimes we're too busy to pay attention to what we drink.

I really hope this passes for you,

janna

I agree with Janna. I have the exact same symptoms whenever I am dehydrated.

Try increasing your salt intake and perhaps eat a banana a day to keep your potassium up.

I hope you feel better soon.

Take care.
