like simple diarrhea. IBS only if.......

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and I understand your concern. Diarrhea may be recurrent. But if you get frequent abdominal pain, alternating bowel habits woth diarrhea and constipation, post prandial ( after eating food ) urgency to defecate , incomplete bowel evacuation , greasy stools etc then yes you may be considered for a functional bowel.

If no then it's a simple diarrhea and all you need is diet and lifestyle modifications like BRAT diet ( Banana, Rice, Applesauce and Toast ) till full recovery with green herbal tea and pomegranate extracts and oral rehydration solutions like paedialyte etc.

If the problem persists get evaluated for other causes of diarrhea first like stool examination for ova , parasites, virus immunoassay, leukocytes , steatorrhea gluten and lactose intolerance etc.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
