Gastroenterologist Questions Diarrhea

Every day diarrhea

Diarrhea everyday for a while now. I;ve always had a bad tummy, but for at least a couple months I've had diarrhea everyday. I weigh 104 pounds and I am 5’4”. Just worried because I've heard that loose bowels everyday isn’t normal. I do have everyday stresses that cause me to have fatigue and I don’t eat very much. I’ve had diarrhea ever since I was a child.

There are many causes for diarrhea, but a basic work up should be done to make sure that it is not from an inflammatory process vs. the more common irritable bowel syndrome.
