A member asked:
What is the most common cause for chronic diahrea in 23 year old male who has anxiety and daily stress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The anxiety & stress: "Plugging up" diarrhea will not cure an infection, fix an inflammatory process, improve an ischemic gut, or correct a functional issue. Medical evaluation is recommended appropriate to the duration of your symptoms, associations (bleeding, weight loss, pain, vomiting), as well as your other medical co-morbidities. Call your doctor please & get checked, but also address the anxiety & stresses.
