Used to be a nice article out there on diarrhea, and whether it comes
from the "small intestine" or "large intestine". There are
characteristics of each, as well as accompanying solutions. Large
intestine diarrhea is more apt to come in frequent spurts, and is
helped by fiber. Small intestine is more likely to be further apart
occurrences, and more likely to be irritation of the
intestine. Can't remember the rest...

The w/d helped, so I feel certain diet change can help. I am worried
more about what is causing it. I am hoping it is just a late
breaking food sensitivity. I brought a stool sample today and am
having her checked by the vet tomorrow.
Thanks,

I've never tried Apple Pectin, but psyllium husk (is that what you
meant Marylyn?), has helped others on the IBD list, (never helped
Gypsy though). Taking a stool sample to the vet can't hurt, I guess
it could be parasites, but that wouldn't explain it clearing up with
a diet change.
