Re: My News
Full of Beans,
I am so glad to hear from you. Thank you for posting. Glad for your good news but also so sorry about your other very painful issue.
I was in a clinical trial for Tykerb and had grade 3 diarrhea for many months. I was a mess down there.
I am hesitant to tell you what worked for me because it is so counter-intuitive. But it was a miracle for me: Psyllium Husk. I know this is normally used for constipation but I heard about it from my Yogi. And it worked. I loaded up on psyllium husk pills and my diarrhea problem was solved.
Your problem sounds very bad and oh so painful. I’m so sorry, FOB!
You are always in our prayers.
Maureen
