reoccurring bowel movements
16/f - I apoligize for being at all gross but this is serious and I am worried it could be something more serious than what I think as it is now.
I keep getting reocurring moments of diarrhea. I have been getting it for two weeks straight. I've of course drank so many liquids [water], but that never helped. In fact, I cut out on sugar and caffeine for a few days and it still acted up.
Even a lot of foods seem to be to blame. Anything I eat, it occurs. Even if it's fruit, veggies, or loaded with fiber foods, I still get it.
I took Pepto Bismol like 4 times a day, and took like an extra 10 mL than regular dosage. Still, nothing!
I get rumors it might be diabetes. It runs in my family a lot, but when I looked it up on google I found nothing about diarrhea related to diabetes.
What could it possibly be? I told my Doctor but she felt it was nothing, so before I go back, is there anything I can do to treat it or make it go away (excluding drinking water)?
Thanks.

Yeah, I agree with the person below. It sounds like in trying to fix your diarrhea, you're actually making it worse.
Increased liquid intake and foods rich in fiber will help things move through your system more quickly. That's not to say you shouldn't stay well hydrated--you should, especially where you ARE having diarrhea. But cut down on the fiber (fruits and veggies have a lot of fiber too).
Take it easy, maybe switch to a fairly bland diet for a few days, and see how it goes from there. If nothing improves, see your doctor again--she'll probably have a different opinion if it lasts much longer.

Imodium works very well for diarrhea. See if mom will pick some up for you.
Fruits, veggies and high fiber foods can actually cause diarrhea, especially if it is a diet change for you. You should eat them of course, but you might slow sown a little until the diarrhea is under control.
Since you have seen a doctor and she thinks you are fine, give imodium a try and see if that doesn't help. :)
