Possible, see a GI: Hi, the symptoms can fit a picture of lymphocytic colitis( lymphocytic colitis falls under the umbrella of microscopic colitis), most people present with diarrhea which can be as severe as upto 2 lits a day, wt loss. The diagnosis is made by biopsy of the colon done during a colonoscopy or a flex-sigmoidoscopy. Bld ; stool tests are not confirmatory and show non-specific abnormalities. See a gi.
