A member asked:
Whenever i'm getting over a bout of constipation, i always get loose stools and/or diarrhea. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you are young: and constantly have constipation alternating with diarrhea/ loose stools, you may need to get checked out by a healthcare provider for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or ciliac disease (sprue), otherwise known as gluten insensitivity disease. These conditions are fairly common in your age group. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
