i just found out that my friend has had diarrhea for a year! i can't even begin to imagine why she hasn't gone to the doctor. this sounds like more than just irritable bowel syndrome? anyone have any idea what may be causing this? she also has an overactive thyroid...could that be the cause?

My aunt has had diarrhea for years but none of us knew. When we found out, my wife told her about a mangosteen juice health drink that we use. My aunt started taking 2 ounces a day and within 1 month she was totally regular. She'd tried everything before that so it is amazing what the juice did. Here is more info if she's interested in reading more: http://www.kimandjeffmacmillan.natureswellnesssecret.com/
Also, this website has many testimonials for various conditions including IBS: http://205.234.239.246/index.htm
Tell your friend good luck...

hyperthyroidism can cause, but can also cuase other serious problems. could also be a bacterial infection. she should go to the doctor to get checked out. just think of the trees she'd save by getting "normal" ;-)

Usually it dosent matter to people even for extended periods of time, but it could just be that she had contaminated water at home? it's likely.

Chrohns disease. It is way worse than IBS...my mom was diagnosed 2 yrs ago. With the proper diet and meds she is much much better. Good luck
