diarrhea  

diarrhea is what I get anytime I'm around 2-butoxyethanol (or other glycol ether / part of the 'alcohol' chemical family) ... just walking into a freshly painted room ... or where people exposed to it are breathing it out in their breath .. or in cleaning products too strong with it. (And it can even be in medications, believe it or not) Ask, what was different IMMEDIATELY before the flatulence, diarrhea or 'the sniffles' started up? ... Or 'the flu?'

I get diarrhea. The faster it comes on, the stronger the exposure.

For people I'm concerned about with the same exposure, it does cause autoimmune issues (the fatigue is compensated autoimmune hemolytic anemia) and one of those is the gut, as you say.

The body is turning AUTOIMMUNE.  What helps the immune system work properly?  That is the help you need!

Liver? Just as the blood tests are fooled on the fatigue, the liver is often a different count than first shows up in the test.

9-28-12 My husband thinks maybe I have gluten intolerance, to have so much problem with diarrhea. So, not to eat any bread, etc. Well, have just come thru serious diarrhea lasting for days, (after flatulence - being around someone I suspect was poisoned by glycol ether) & then ate a hamburger w bun & a piece of toast. Nope, still getting better, so NOT gluten issue. If my theory is right, no doctor is up on glycol ether poisoning, & fat chance they'd listen to me anyway, even if my husband comes with me and says, "No, this is true; she really has to deal with this" http://www.valdezlink.com/pages/diarrhea.htm

An autoimmune disorder occurs when a person's immune system mistakenly attacks their own body tissues. Different autoimmune disorders include diabetes, Graves' disease, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, sclerodoma and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Suspect exposure to Glycol Ether (especially 2-butoxyethanol) for causing 'the flu' *  and many autoimmune health issues thereafter  (CFIDS, CFS, FM)

What are the glycol ethers?  *  * <---2 links

Glycol: any of a class of organic chemicals characterized by having separate two hydroxyl (-OH) groups, contribute to high water solubility, hygroscopicity and reactivity with many organic compounds, on usually linear and aliphatic carbon chain. The general formula is CnH2n(OH)2 or (CH2)n(OH)2
