A member asked:
Diarrhea for over a month, gall bladder stones, they say it isn't related, lipoma on ileocecal valve, could that be the issue?

None of the above: Lipoma is not a big deal and the diarrhea and gallstones are not related. Were you on any antibiotic recently? If so, get checked for C difficile infection. You need to consult a gastroenterologist nonetheless.

No: Lipomas in the bowel wall will not cause diarrhea.
