olive oil as laxative
Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2018 1:20 pm
I was having sudden urgent diarrhea for 5+ years after an ileostomy reversal, and as a result I feared going more than 4-5 blocks away from my house. If I had to travel, I would eat minimally the day before, and would only drink some tea. Finally I discovered that this problem occurred after eating fried food, which I fried using olive oil. In the last 3 months I have eliminated olive oil and have not any severe diarrhea episodes. I still get some stomach pain when eating foods containing fat, such as eggs, but no longer have to worry about severe diarrhea. If only the gastroenterologists I visited had mentioned olive oil as a danger, I would have been saved much aggravation.
