Diarrhea: Hi Angela, diarrhea can occur for many reasons, I can provide a diagnosis without further history and testing, but things to consider are irritable bowel syndrome; food allergy; a malabsorption syndrome such as celiacs disease; or an inflammatory bowel disease (i.e. crohns disease or ulcerative colitis). You should work with your primary care doctor to figure out the cause. Hope that helps!
