Hello everyone,
I am baffled that zinc supplementation is the only thing I‘ve yet discovered that resolves my chronic diarrhea / IBS-D. But after stopping it my diarrhea comes back in a few days. Weird enough, even if I eat a lot of red meat which is rich in zinc, I cannot replicate the effects of supplemental zinc. It simply does not stop diarrhea.
Antibiotics, low FODMAP, natural antimicrobials, supplements and elimination diets did not do much for my diarrhea, and some of them caused it to become even more severe like antibiotics.
Anyone having a idea for the mechanism?
I hope somebody with diarrhea finds this helpful. I lost hope in fixing my diarrhea and started zinc supplementation lately for other reasons and I am happy with this effect on my GI tract.
