What Are the Causes of Chronic Diarrhea 

No. I have osteoarthritis with tons of inflammation. I have eliminated almost all caffeine, dairy and stop taking magnesium. Most recently I stoped taking my calcium that has magnesium and after 3 days I feel better. I did see that it can cause it. I am gonna have to incorporate more calcium w/o then mag though.

No.... it's over three weeks now

Not yet. I've had diarrhea, bloating & pain since April 12 & tomorrow will be Jun 4th. Had 8 different stool sample tests & all were negative. I have hyperthyroidism but my gastro dr says that it won't cause diarrhea. Really? Everything I've read says it's possible. I see him in a couple weeks. I'm just glad I haven't been losing weight from this. I eat the BRAT diet. I don't have celiac disease. I'll look into gluten intolerance. I have a bagel every morning & it helps calm my tummy down.

As someone who has been there, your symptoms sound more like lactose or gluten intolerance. You should try an elimination diet. It sounds like you are not absorbing your nutrients so you are most likely deficient in the necessary vitamins and minerals that prevent anxiety, depression, and insomnia. If I eat foods with gluten in them (such as wheat in bread and baked goods, etc.-you can check ingredient list on packages0, I will 100% of the time have anxiety and insomnia. You might start with plain meats, eggs, vegetables, and fruit, and just use salt and pepper or fresh herbs to flavor-then see how you feel. There's plenty of information if you search elimination diet. At least take a good quality multivitamin with minerals, but if it's a food intolerance, that won't help much. Good luck.

@@pkstiever Thank you for your message. I don't eat anything other than beef, lamb, chicken, & occasionally pork or eggs. Five years on carnivore.

You do need some cooked vegetables. I can get away with boiled/simmered kale (add salt and a little olive oil at the end of that). I had chronic and severe diarrhea for 4 1/2 months. I think it's over or, at least controlled--a lot. How did I do it? A nutritionist, and two friends gave me clues that worked. 1) Mix about a level teaspoon of psyllium and a half teaspoon of ground flax seed into some apple sauce at night every night. Take that every night. 2) A little slippery elm powder brewed into a tea really started the positive change. 3) Ancient Nutrition SBO Probiotics Trinity product has been a giant game changer. It has S. Boulardii in it which can absolutely stop diarrhea. But that product has other prebiotics and probiotics in it that make the change even more continuous. Oh, regarding the depression. Are you taking vitamin D3? That fights depression big time. Also, a quality fish oil can help a lot in that area. Finally, if you don't take any of the above, just taking a little Sacharomyces Boulardii (S. Boulardii) alone, straight (don't overdo it) can give you some good relief. NOW brand is affordable. Read up on that. I'm just telling you what has, thankfully, worked for me only in the last two weeks. I couldn't believe it could stop. I'm still being careful about food. Also, drink a lot of water. Do you peel your vegetables? I was told by a healthfood store worker to do that. I peel my potatoes, sweet potatoes and zuchini. I can eat cut green beans if they are well cooked--usually with the kale. Do not eat the skins of vegetables. I can eat almond butter and Brazil nuts (nutrition!). Don't touch pork or fruit (unfortunately), but blueberries are okay. Good luck!!

Glad it was useful in any way! Thank you!

Hi did you figure out what was wrong? My 12 yr old son has had diahrrea for 5 months now . Really watery i tryd changing diets ive tryd everything have you found a solutuon UPDATE; Hi Everyone hope you are all well. My it got to the point where my son had to go through a colonoscopy and found nothing . Doctor just recomended me to use emodium for a few weeks or until it settles 1 month later his back to normal . Smh I wish i knew what caused his severe diahrea. Help this helps anyone stay safe and haopy thanks giving

Does your son find he is extremely thirsty after sodium rich food? Since the diarrhea is causing water loss.

Did you find what the cause was? I’m going on 3 weeks off just mild diarrhea like 2?3 times a day when I normally would go to the bathroom, cramping isn’t bad just gotta let some gas out and go not urgently but I just gotta go! No blood or fever from what I can feel but I’m running out of hope and I’ve never gone through anything like this in my life I’ve never had any intolerance’s either. I started 50,000ius of vitamin d2 for my deficiency and it started after about a month on it but my doctor said it’s probably not that yet told me to stop taking them for two weeks to see what happens…. I’m just at a loss here guys idk what’s going on

H-pilory 😞

I have similar issues, 2 weeks with mushy stool and nausea, im getting so scared, i have UTI and the blood is okay, but i have the need to go poop every morning, it's making me exausted and i want to sleep. I have no other symptoms, it's so tiring.

What's ur age? Do u still have it? What do u do for constant dehydration?

@@AK-zw3yz12😩

@@AK-zw3yz got it again it’s pretty painful-

Spicy food did that for me too

Thank you!

Hemp milk, try it out buddy

Thank you!

Yes I am in America and Covid started my diarrhea issues.

Yes

make sure to use the leftovers for my grandmothers delicious beef stew, with blacknail clippings. Top 10 morning meal?

What was the issue

@@angelicacind3623 it became okay after taking immodium and probiotics

I wonder if it is lactose intolerance

This is my issue right now. I took more than 1 course of antibiotics bc I had a uti and gum infection going on at the same time and now I have diarrhea. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ Imodium ain’t fixing it

i have the same issue after taking antibiotics for a few days, fucking antibiotics! now i have diarrhea, pain in my belly and bleeding in my stool. im so scared. i wish i had never taken those damn antibiotics

What is that and is it contagious

Get a blood test to make sure it’s c.diff. I thought I had a c diff infection due to taking antibiotics but I didn’t.

@@cobubrown1980yes it’s contagious. Must wash your hands and clean with bleach

Please what's the meaning of c diff

​@@yvonnefondzenyuy6070 nasty bacterial infection, too many antibiotics causes it

Nah Cuz I been smoking long before and recently got this shit

If you've eaten half your house from the munchies then yes. But smoking in general brings on bowel movements. But it doesn't cause it.

My husband is 80 has Parkinson's and diabetic..He keeps getting diarrhea. It's very worrying.

Thank you!

What report u got

Either lactose intolerance or gluten intolerance can cause it. Try and elimination diet and see what makes you feel bad. You can google it for details. If you are like me, it's both. Your diet will have to be restricted or you will continue to lose weight. But if you figure out the cause, you will feel so much better. It's super common. Try switching to lactose-free milk and cut out cheese and see if it makes a difference. No ice cream or dairy with lactose.

There is now next milk brand that tastes like milk. And there are also lactose pills you can take.

You can just drink lactose-free milk and get lactase pills (like Lactaid) for anything else that has milk in it, including chocolate!
