Not clear: You need a full evaluation, as there are many possibilities. A colorectal or endoscopic surgeon, or gastrenterologist should be able to help you.

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Many things: Chronic diarrhea can lead to dehydration/volume depletion, electrolyte imbalance and porr nutrition all of which can lead to fatigue and lethargy. A thorough workup, identifying the cause and proper treatment once the diagnosis is made can significantly improve or resolve your problem. See a colorectal surgeon or gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.
