A member asked:

My 23 year old daughter gets diarrhoea before her menstrual cycle starts, is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menses and diarrhea: Change of bowel movements can occur around the menstrual cycle. If her symptoms are very cyclical, matching with her menses, and no blood in stool, fever, then it sounds fairly benign, and related to her cycle.
