A member asked:
My brother-in-law has had the diarrhea for 2 weeks and thinks it will pass. question is what could be causing this and should he see a doctor.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Worth being seen: Something unexplained that lasts two weeks is generally worth having checked. It would be a shame for him to delay effective treatment for salmonella, celiac sprue, giardiasis, whipple's, a villous adenoma, a vipoma.... The list goes on and on.
