Having severe diarrhea at times and trying to drink protein shakes.

Protein shakes never helped me. Just gave me more diarrhea. The lomotil & Imodium help me the best. Plus rice, potatoes and bananas. You have to watch the potassium if you’re going to eat those items.

Restoralax Is probably good if you have constipation. I wouldn’t imagine it would be good for diarrhea.

You might try a capful of Restoralax in a Boost drink daily. It has helped my husband considerably with the diarrhea & constipation.

You should try lomotil. It slows the digestion down.

Same here Theresa, so I’ve been hesitant on drinking the protein shakes or Ensure. Been adding more rice to meals and seems that helps some. Add bananas to a smoothie in morning and that helps too.
