What is Chronic Diarrhea?
Diarrhea describes loose, watery stools that occur more frequently than usual. You may also experience abdominal
cramps and a greater volume of stool. Diarrhea varies in specific symptoms, severity and duration.
Acute diarrhea usually lasts for a few days and is typically caused by an infection of some sort — caused by bacteria,
viruses or parasites.
Chronic diarrhea persists longer than does acute diarrhea, generally longer than four weeks. Chronic diarrhea can
indicate a serious disorder, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, or a less serious condition, such as irritable
bowel syndrome.
Symptoms
• Frequent, loose, watery stools
• Abdominal cramps
• Abdominal pain
• Fever
• Blood in the stool
• Bloating
Causes
• Blood pressure medications
• Caffeine
• Cancer medications
• Celiac disease
• Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal)
• Colon cancer
• Crohn's disease
• Gastric bypass surgery
• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B
• Hepatitis C
• Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Ischemic colitis
• Pancreatic insufficiency
• Ulcerative colitis
• Whipple's disease
Western Medicine Treatment
Most cases of diarrhea clear on their own within a couple of days without treatment. If you've tried lifestyle changes and
home remedies for diarrhea without success, your doctor may recommend medications or other treatments.
• Antibiotics
• Treatment to replace fluids
• Adjusting medications you're taking
• Treating underlying conditions
