Day 10 of my first cycle of Chemo

CLRhodes

I have had continuous cramping and diarreaha for 5 days now. I am so hungry. I consume my liquids so dehydration isn't an issue. Imodium isn't working. Any ideas?

Call your oncologist
I am really sorry,
Call your oncologist as soon as possible, page the doctor and or nurse practitioner.
If imodium did not work they will prescribe different medication.

I agree with New Flower .. call doctor
as soon as possible. Liquids do not fill us up .. I am always hungry, I tried to fill up on veggies and fruit. However, too much fruit may increase bathroom trips.

I had the same problem
It's day 10 for me, also, and I had alot of stomach cramping and alot of loose "squirts",(the only way to describe it) not much at a time. Imodium helped me, though. I've always had a cast iron stomach, could eat anything, not anymore.

Hoping that you feel better
Hoping that you feel better Rhodes. Besides what you mentioned, there are pills that you can take for diarrhea. I believe one is Lomotil, or something like that. Ask your oncologist.
