Hi Joann el Coq (?)
I have just been through a couple of months of the same thing, and now have a three-week respite. That much amoxacillin (what I took), unexpectedly gave me the same D effect, although I have IBS-C. What I learned to do was to cut back on insoluble fiber, and take a regular medium dosage of Acacia Tummy Fiber before every meal.
Fortunately, plain Immodium (or generic), works extremely well for me in a situation like this. So I was able to go off to work almost immediately after an episode of D.
Revival Soy has a bunch of pastas that are high in protein, with almost no fiber. Also, my recipe for a no-fiber mocha shake (on the ForMyTummy blog) is pretty good. I wound up mostly having liquid meals, protein shakes, no frozen-fruit smoothies, and soft finger food, like vegetarian puffs. I didn't want any vegetables; I go through "no veg" phases. When my teeth felt like it, I indulged in Baked Lays.
Let me know how it turns out!

Antibiotics give me the D side effect. I have to go for extensive dental work and I have to take 2,000 mg of amoxil for 8 dental  visits because of my mitral valve prolapse. How do I handle this? Take immodium with the amoxil pills?
