Hi there,
Is there anything else, aside from food, that could be triggering your D? (Medications? Stress/Anxiety? Hot weather? etc). I was in a similar situation years ago and was eating next to nothing other than rice, and realised I was still getting D because I was on a reflux medication (prevacid) that's primary side effect is diarhea! As soon as I went off it, I felt about 75% better and the rest was down to stress and other things I had to learn to manage.
Have you been tested to see if you have celiac or any intolerances to wheat? What about for bacterial overgrowth? If not, talk to your doctor.
Are you taking anything to help stabilize? Medications? Peppermint capsules or tea?
Good luck, hang in there!
Cheers, Steph
