A member asked:
Can my body twitching be because of the nonstop diahrrea i have had since coming back from vacation 6 months ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The short answer is yes, through electrolyte imbalance- potassium, magnesium, calcium, among others, combined with dehydration. I recommend as starting point seeing your doc for regular blood work, specifically electrolytes, with replacement as needed as well as stool studies in trying to understand the cause for your protracted diarrhea.
