A member asked:

Diarrhea every morning, sometimes lower left abdominal discomfort, slight weight loss - do i have crohn's or colitis? no other symptoms present.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

AM diarrhea: Irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn's are possibilities unless you have contracted a recent infectious disease or food reaction. If the diarrhea, along with cramping, occurs only following the breakfast meal, I would favor irritable bowel over inflammatory bowel disease, and taking an antispasmodic like dicyclomine 1/2 hour before breakfast should help.
