Hi Gail! I wish I could help more but, I also have had IBS off and on for the last 20+ years but, now I've had diverticulitis attacks twice. Once for 10 days last year finally ended up at the ER. They wanted to admit me until they found out I had no insurance?? Now it's back with a vengeance and I'm still unable to get Medicaid or much help. Cipro seemed to help last time after a few more excruciating days in pain. My Dr had me try several meds for cramping but, none of them helped that awful twisting pain in side or sickness and pain after eating even soft bland foods. It seems impossible to get even an antispasmodic type of medicine prescribed. The medical establishment seem fearful of prescribing anything that may help. I too would welcome suggestions from others with this illness. Thanks and Good luck! Hope you get to feeling better??

Hello Gail! How are you doing? I'm very sorry that you're so miserable.

What medications are you currently taking? More information is needed to determine if any of them may be contributing to your diarrhea. It is known to be a side effect of many medications.

Lofenoxal only helps temporarily, it wears off after a few hours, just like you experienced.

Ref: Lofenoxal Information

What does your normal diet consist of? That could also be contributing.

As to your back pain, are you being careful to make sure you stay hydrated? Diarrhea can cause dehydration very fast.
