A member asked:
How can i measure bouts of diarrhea from irritable bowel syndrome so my doctor knows how bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep a log: One way would be to keep a record of dates and times of the events. This may also help with identifying any patterns, especially if certain foods are being eaten or certain stressors encountered frequently when the bouts are especially bad. By keeping the record you have an accurate log of events and do not have to try to remember which can sometimes be difficult if there are many.
