What can i expect in an appointment with a doctor to check out loose stools?

Loose stools...help!: Hi a good health care provider will ask you a series of questions to try to rule out or rule in certain possibilities as the cause of your symptoms. In the visit they should also check your vital signs and examine you. The questions should be similar to the length of time you have been ill, what other symptoms accompany this illness, and what foods or other issues could be contributing.
