Hi, Your story struck a chord w/ me- I haven't posted here in years although I have been a longtime ARD (adhesions related disorder) sufferer - 28years and

unfortunately 16 surgeries worth.

But the reason that I wanted to write was because of your story. Have you been checked for Celiac or Spruce disease? This is the inability to digest gluten, which will cause constant diarrhea and the stomach/pelvic pain you are having. Talk to anyone who is dealing with the disease and they will tell you what a challenge they went through to get diagnosed and how much pain too they went through -much like you described. I witnessed it first hand with a family member that's why I wonder of you have another avenue to pursue ? You would have to cut out all wheat, rye barley, and fructose (there may be others-please check with the experts) and in the meantime while you are experiencing so much diarrhea you should consider replacing lost electrolytes (gatorade for example) and lots of water, otherwise you do get very quickly dehydrated which can ALSO cause further pain. It is a horrible cycle.

I wish you the best.
