Hello everyone
I hope everyone is doing well. I am still here kicking and fighting. I was wondering if anyone has had this issue. I had my gallbladder removed during my liver recession a while ago. I had SBRT radiation around a year or two ago I think. Due to that now I have radiation proctitis. Lately, my potassium has been low not sure why but I have been on treatment for a while now. Sometimes that treatment causes me diarrhea. Now I have this weird issue that happens. Its like I have gas trapped inside my body and I have diarrhea and the gas takes its time to come out. It starts like in the middle of my left body and I hear a prrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and then it goes down to my body and I feel either I am going to pass stool or gas. My body gets confused and I cant tell whether it's poop or gas and I end up having accidents due to that. Has anyone had this issue before?
thanks

Re: Really Bad Gas and Diarrhea
How many different kinds of diarrhea?

.
Do you know what kind of diarrhea you have? Could it possibly be due to a viral infection or to a bacterial infection, or to food poisoning? Do you have a high temperature or fever?
Or could it be due to your diet -- too many fizzy, carbonated drinks, or too many gas-producing foods like beans, etc.?

Re: Really Bad Gas and Diarrhea
Walking a lot can help with the trapped gas. If you don't want to venture too far from home because of the diarrhea, try walking around your house. Perhaps ask your doctor what he/she recommends.
Good luck!
