Liquid then solid stool what next?

Sat, December 02, 2023 5:48 PM

I have a colonoscopy coming up in two weeks. I currently go to the bathroom 20 to 40 times a day and I have liquid stool followed by solid stool. I'm currently on entivyo, although my G.I. doctor says the dosage and levels in my body are low. I asked her if I should try other medication and she said no because I did not develop antibodies yet. When I have my reactive protein test done, It was 7000 I was on prednisone and Malene briefly to bring down the inflammation. Otherwise nothing else I can sometimes go for 6 to 7 hours when I'm walking 20,000 steps a day without going to the bathroom. Other days I seem to go almost every 30 to 45 minutes and even at night I have to go when I'm trying to sleep about every 2 to 3 hours, I'm not really sure what colonoscopy to do so I'm really confused as to what to do next. What can I do? Is there anything I can do to limit the amount of times I go to the bathroom does Tylenol help my my G.I. doctor won't prescribe me anything else so I'm not really sure what to do I don't have a fever I don't have them domino pain just constant liquid stool throughout the day which I've had the last 3 to 4 months

I've found immodium to be really helpful in reducing how often I have to use the bathroom. Don't over use it but it is helpful in slowing things down.
