Hi Doug,

I visisted the Big Island for 5 months last year. I drank rain collected water that was not properly filtered. Many in the eco village got sick. Vomiting, Diarrea.
I was hit bad. As they recovered without any medication, I persisted down the road trying to keep it natural. I had severe diarrea issues. Using the toilet throughout the day and night, on average 20 times. It was 6 weeks before I actually gave a stool sample and had the anti biotics that killed the ameoba.
But the digestive issues were to continue as they do to this day. Its been over a year now.
I came home to the UK and was on a raw overt fat diet. The grains were causing me more problems. I got fed up with eating and using the toilet. I began juicing. I did it for 63 days and then fasted for 4.5 days on nothing but water to finish off the juicing. I lost a quarter of my weight.
I was still having 4 times a day diarrea on the juice which apparently is abnormal on a juice feast. I began eating again and the toilet issue seemed to be ok and back to normal, but only for a month, then i was totally back where i started. Its down to 7-10 times a day which is better, but so inconvenient.
The fruit based lifestyle doesnt seem to help, even starch based diet isnt great. Every so often I have a day of 4 times only and I am well happy. Its not really anything that I am doing though, seems its just a good day as the next day and thereafter is back to the problem.
I have been blood and stool tested at the tropical disease hospital in London. I am all clear. I am now booked in for a colonosopy. Not looking fwd to it. Ill be taking b12 injections after I use their self sedating nitrous oxide mix for the procedure.
As you are in the tropics a lot, maybe you would have some advice for me.
Sometimes bentonite clay can help, porridge can help, ground up nutmeg and drinking the oily water of the nutmeg can help.
I used NCP's friendly bacteria powder. Testmonies looked Great. Sounded just like my problems. But I was disapoited to gain nothing visible after taking it for a few weeks.
Just any advice you may have, I will try and incorporate it into my experimenting, to see what works and what doesn't. I think I am compromised with my bowell now. I am 33 and I love to travel a lot. My travelling and social life has been stunted!! I appreciate you taking the time to view this!
