Brenda,
Thanks for your words of encouragement and the info. I have been eating most of the things you suggest but everytime I eat anything else the big "D" comes raging back. I kind of had it in control before my onc took me off for a week but I ate a small cut of tomato soup and wowwie what an awful experience. It took 5 days to get over that off meds.

I read the info about skin several weeks ago but thanks for sharing it with me. I've printed it and am taking it in when I see the Dr. He's done a great job of managing all my side effects on other treatments but he doesn't seem to think that if I just wait it out the diarrhea is going to go away. The things I've done I already knew from treating diarrhea in my daughter when she was little. But it looks like these techniques aren't going to be ways of getting the diarrhea to stop but a permanent way of living. Since he says this will be an "until it doesn't work or you say you won't take it any more" treatment.

Thanks again for your response.

Joyce
