Get tested: The stool can be tested for the many common causes of diarrhea. Also after having diarrhea for a long time, you lose the enzyme to digest milk (lactase). It will most likely come back when the diarrhea resolves. For now, its a good idea to either drink lactaid milk products or to add a lactaid enzyme pill to dairy products to help digest the milk sugar and prevent bloating.
