It's been 2 weeks now and Dad's still having terrible diarrhea. Mom's talking about taking him back up there but I just wanted to ask here......did it take a little longer for the diarrhea to stop for some?? He's definately feeling a bit better. Should we be patient another week or so?? Thanks for your help. Lisa

" Hi,Lisa. I'm Debbie. I've been on Sando for two months now. At first it didn't help but since they upped the dosage I'm starting to feel better. I have to watch what I eat because certain foods will bring on the terrible diarrhea. Most days I might have 1-2 of the diarrhea daily, which is way better than before. I pray that your dad starts feeling better. "
