Diet, IBS...: Alternating diarrhea and constipation is a hallmark of Irritable Bowel Syndrome if other causes ruled out . Other causes could be poor diet choices, food sensitivities, thyroid issues...many possibilities. Suggest starting with your own doctor to get additional history/testing if necessary. You may want to try a functional medicine doctor as well: https://www.functionalmedicine.org
