A member asked:
I've been getting random diarrhea episodes for several weeks now (3 - 4). no other symptoms at all except for minor cramps in my stomach. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Random diarrhea: if bowels are moving daily with intermittent diarrhea, then IBS might be the culprit. If you are missing days of stool followed by diarrhea, then evacuation constipation may be the issue. If the latter fits better, then start taking psyllium powder in a glass of water nightly and use Milk of Magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) on the evening of any second day without a bowel movement. If the former, then see your doc .
