How can I stop my Diarrhea?

Question

Right after I quit drinking the hard stuff my on going very active diarrhea set in almost twenty years ago. Doctors have tried to find a cure for me but, as one of them told me, if I can't find the cause, I can't find the cure.. At present I'm taking Loperamide, generic version of Imodium, and it has been the best think I can fine to help it, not cure it. Both baby (children) or pet cures don't work - for me. Most research on the Internet does not deal with this condition for adults. I have gone to all kinds of doctors for help and when their own special cure doesn't work, they give up trying. I was born in 1934 and my heavy drinking ended and diarrhea started in July of 1987.
