Diarrhea for 2 months, tried probiotics and imodium, (loperamide) think it started with under baked canned biscuits as husband has same symptoms. help needed!!!

Well, if both you: and your husband have the same symptoms after eating the same thing, then I think a food poisoning cause should be suspected. Two months is a long time to put up with this!! You both must see your doctor and have stool cultures for bacteria, ova and parasites. Two or more specimens may be required. Pursue this immediately! Good wishes:)
