That will give you t: The answer will come from colonoscopic examination. It can be any chronic bowel disorder. Sometimes a biopsy done during this procedure will reveal the cause.

Chronic diarrhea.: If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy in 2 weeks. I would keep that appointment and your GI doctor will have further information for your current problem. There are so many different causes for chronic diarrhea. Common causes are irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, infection, microscopic colitis, side effects of medications, food, or even artificial sugar.
