A member asked:

I have been severly stressed lately & am already fighting depression. now im getting diarrhea. i have started to feel ill. what should i do to fix it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What's the cause?: "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 and get checked.
