I am 46 years old and was diagnosed with ADD at the age of 23. My son was also diagnosed with ADD and we both started taking Ritalin. My life improved significantly, but I have been off medication for two years to see if I could manage without it. I have struggled with focus and have quit two semesters of college. I am considering going back on medication to improve my quality of life. I took 20 mg of Ritalin three times a day. What do you think?

I've had diarrhea since June 1st. It got so bad that I went to the doctor who prescribed antibiotics for bacterial diarrhea and a urine infection. I'm still getting diarrhea 4-5 times a day, usually within 10 minutes of eating anything, accompanied by gurgling noises in my stomach. I've tried a starvation diet and cutting off various foods, but no matter what I eat, I get diarrhea straight away. I'm not suffering from cramps, but I have a very bloated stomach and have lost over a stone in weight in 5 weeks. What could be causing this persistent diarrhea, and what further steps should I take?
