May need more attn: Unfortunately many things can be lost through the stool depending on the cause, duration, and amount of stool passage. You may want to check with your physician or GI specialist to obtain more details on why you are having the chronic diarrhea. They can make sure your electrolytes and nutrition are treated appropriately and moreover find a cause and treatment for the diarrhea.
