Chronic diarrhea: In brief you are describing chronic diarrhea. Common causes include parasites, like giardia in the water, or other parasites if you have traveled outside the country. A stool test can determine this. Other medical causes include inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, microscopic colitis, and various malabsorption syndromes. Additional stool tests will be helpful.

Agree with Dr. K: You may try taking anti-diarrhea medication like PeptoBismol, or Immodium. If you have lost weight, it would be prudent to consult a GI specialist.
