A member asked:

Does gastritis cause diarrhoea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Diahrrhoea is a phenomenon related to the presence of liquid stool in the small intestine. As the liquid passes the terminal ileum and cecum most of the liquid is readsorbed so that the partially liquefied stool in the ascending colon converts to solid stool as it reaches the transverse and left colon where all fluid should be removed. If the water is not resorbed diarrhea forms.

I have autoimmune atrophic gastritis w/ meta + hyperplasia. In any 24 hour period my stools will be small rocks w/ lots of mucus or diarrhea. Sometimes all that comes out is mucus. Can the AAG cause this or should I look into something else?
