Having diarrhea with more water than anything else in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How long?: Has this been a persistent problem or recent? For new onset diarrhea, there is greatest likelihood of self-resolving infection, food intolerance or medication side effect. If persistent, need a GI evaluation to differentiate many possibilities. Common causes include microscopic colitis, usually secondary to medication, or metabolic cause. Again, need work up to be sure.
