I know this is probably TMI, a taboo or something we rarely speak about. But it should be talked about, take away the stigma and be open.

Bowels have featured heavily in my life this last year, with Mr Moon being diagnosed with Crohns and ulcerative colitis. And now myself I’ve had relentless diarrhea for over a month. Well its 7 weeks

I’ve done a classic basic stool test which is normal, a calprotectin test which is also normal, so these rule out food poisoning and inflammation in the colon. I’ve done a FIT test to rule out cancer thats clear, and full blood work which is also normal. But let me tell you diarrhea for over a month is NOT normal.

So what can it be? Hormones? Menopause? Have I some how triggered an IBS flare that I’ve never had before?

So I need to go back and see if we can get some answers. As I am at a loss at this point. But I do know its getting me down and ruining my daily life.

While I’m glad the tests are coming back normal, it is puzzling what is causing it. I’m not ill, and nothing has changed in my life. I originally thought it was caused from a very very spicy curry I had, but this is a month long issue so I really doubt that now.

The doctors say to come back in 2 weeks and discuss options.
