A member asked:
Why do i sometimes get diarrhea when i am very nervous or scared? what is the scientific explanation for that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like IBS but: "Plugging up" diarrhea will not cure an infection, fix an inflammatory process, improve an ischemic gut, or correct a functional issue. Medical evaluation is recommended appropriate to the duration of your symptoms, associations (bleeding, weight loss, pain, vomiting), as well as your other medical co-morbidities. Call your doctor please and get checked.
