and then hopefully I can deal with a disabling hemorrhoid issue.
I think the diarrhea is from the keytruda (did last of five infusions 2 weeks ago) and/or the til treatment at nih.
I can’t ignore it or pursue half measures any longer.
Will post results here.

Re: Will Begin Taking Banatrol For Some Vicious Diarrhea
Banatrol is really good. I used it during folfox.
I had some left over and my husband used it mixed with vinegar and aspirin to get rid of a corn on his foot SMH

Re: Will Begin Taking Banatrol For Some Vicious Diarrhea
Mixed a scoop of Banatrol and a Tablespoon of blackstrap molasses into a siggi’s plain yogurt.
Not the tastiest mix in the world, but tolerable.
Chased with large glass of water.

Re: Will Begin Taking Banatrol For Some Vicious Diarrhea
Mixed a scoop of Banatrol into my Nature’s Path Smart Bran cereal.
Couldn’t taste it.
Will go this route for awhile.
Think I’m to give it 5-7 days

Re: Will Begin Taking Banatrol For Some Vicious Diarrhea
I cannot stress enough how helpful acupuncture was for both the hemorrhoids and the diarrhea after only one treatment.
I showed the doctor this https://acupuncturetoday.com/mpacms/at/ ... p?id=32524 and it is a technique he is familiar with. We did it at the end of the 45 minute session. Feeling like a new man.
