In May 2001, I contracted a severe bowel flu that lasted 3 weeks. I lost 10 lbs. and was very weak. Now I can't drink Vit. D milk or have cheesecake without terrible morning-after consequences of 5 to 6 diarrhea bouts. I was always regular before this. Specialists told me all was alright with my health and to stay off dairy products. I do not drink Vit. D milk anymore, I use Lactaid 100% lactose free milk instead. But I STILL get bouts of diarrhea several days a week. My last idea was to start using Metamucil as a daily diet suppliment. I've been using it for 4 days now and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. But how long can I safely use this product? Metamucil's website does not offer this information. I am not a smoker and my meals are 90% healthy because I am a migrane sufferer and watch what I eat/drink. I do not understand how a flu can permanently change bowel habits. Can you help me?
