Hi my name is Jan and I live in Perioa, Illinois with my daughter who is 15. My ex husband is uber-gay and is homeless. I haven't seen him in 13 years, so he might be dead. I don't know.
My daughter is having big problems with diareeah now. She has been for about 6 months. She has missed a total of 54 days due to diareeah. Some days she can go 2 hours without pooping, some days only 2-3 minutes. I took her to a doctor but they told her to take some Pepto-Bismol.
I'm a manager at Walgreens so I know just about everything there is to know, but if there is something i should do different, TELL ME!!!!!!

Hi :)
One of my DS's classmates had the same problem the last half of junior and first half of senior year of high school.
I agree with the last 2 posters who suggested your daughter be checked for IBS or Crohn's Disease. My nephew has the latter and meds do help somewhat, but he has a severe case and has had for many years.
I know some teenage girls take laxatives in order to lose weight. Have you completely ruled that out?
Good luck,

Kate, I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how happy I am to see you on this board!

Thanks!
