Hi all! So I have taken notice that the past few times I have been away from my house for a few days, I do not have the excessive diarrhea I have at home. Very strange. When I'm home I'm in the bathroom constantly from the time I wake up, around 7, until about 11-noon.
But this is not a problem when I'm gone, which leads me to believe there is something in my house triggering this.
My house is about 16 years old. We have had several issues with pipes breaking (mold?) we have a lot of carpet in the house (possible reaction to this? Actually when we had the carpet laid 4 years ago is when my symptoms became intolerable. But I would think 4 years would be enough time for all the chemicals to have dissipated, but maybe not?). AndI have 2 wiener dogs.
These are the only possible things I can think of. Oh, and we have a water softener. Any thoughts?
I really hope my house or dogs aren't triggering me! I don't know what I'd do!

Oh, and have you had it steem cleaned?  We have ours done every year and I would have it done every six months if I had a couple dogs. They track in lots of stuff on those little paws.

Mold in my house definitely played a role in my illness.   We also replaced all carpeting with laminate flooring.
