i think the better question on this site is who DOES NOT have chronic d? not trying to make light, but we all do, and just wanted to try to make you smile. its so bad for me that d is actually my normal bm. seriously. but if its making you uncomfortable, i personally would try everything OTC that i could before a colonoscopy. add more fiber and water into your diet, try probiotics, peppermint pills (the ones that dissolve in your digestive tract not your stomach) and when you have exercised all those options then consider the latter. try something new for 2 weeks, if it doesnt work, move on. we all have such horrible digestive issues, kinda the irony in all this. sending you well wishes
