Chronic diarrhea: You have chronic diarrhea that needs to be further investigated under the direction of your doc and/or a gastroenterologist. From irritable bowel to inflammatory bowel disease with infections and food allergies possible many diagnoses are possible. Make sure to stay well hydrated and keep a food log.
