A member asked:

I've had diarrhea for 3 weeks now. how do i stop this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: Diarrhea longer than a week may have many causes. Sometimes the virus which caused the illness damages the intestinal lining and it takes a few weeks to heal. Other times protracted diarrhea is a symptom of a more serious illness. Your doctor can help you sort things out.
