    Good luck! I've been there and I know it's not fun.

    Definitely get your poo sampled. In the meantime these things will help heal your tummy/intestines:

    * Benefibre - you want the one that says INULIN or is made from chickory root. It's a prebiotic, ie helps the good guys win, and having some volume in your intestine will help slow things down. It dissolves completely and you can also add it to food, so it's not blah like psyllium.
    * Travelan - this contains antibodies that deal with nasty tummy germs, it's made out of bovine colostrum
    * Pro-biotic - you need the one that's got the word RHAMNOSUS in it, it actually weeds the bad germs out. You can usually find it in a combination dose. Take it when you can on an empty tummy, around the same time you're having the inulin.

    Also, you could try the raspberry cordial trick. It can't hurt. I hope you're feeling better soon.
