      We have tried them all, I think.  Low fiber, BRAT, chicken soup you name it I have cooked it for her.  No sugar, no milk, no red meat, no spice etc.  So, now the doctor has increased her steriods to six a day for the next six days.  Still diaherra, weak but she did say I THINK I am feeling a little better.  So, now I am looking at yogurt.  I cannot find anything that says NO.  Has anyone that is on Yervoy tried yogurt to help with diaherra?  I want to thank all of you that responded to my last post.  One note.  As far as for my wife, BioChemo was nothing like the side effects of Yervoy but if it works, well we will get thru this.  Thanks again.
