Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows :
1. I need to know if you have watery morning diarrhea every day or occasionally diarrhea.
If it is a recently diarrhea than the most common cause of it is acute gastroenteritis.
2. If you have a persistent diarrhea than it may be related with:
- colagenous colitis
- IBS
3. Meantime I suggest to :
- use plenty of water
- avoid fatty and sugar foods
- use antispasmodic drugs like dyclocimin
- use probiotic
Hope it was helpful to you

I wake up with watery diarrhea only once in the morning. So please tell me if it is alright to have only watery diarrhea once in the morning. For collagenous colitis I was treated with prednisone for three months then the watery diarrhea stopped. AT that time nearly a year ago I had more than 10 watery diarrhea a day. Then I was completely cured.
Now I have only one watery diarrhea minute I wake up. Is this normal.
I am again on 5 mg prednisone but to treat eczema for about 2 months now.
Shall I consider one bowel movement (Water diarrhea) as normal and ignore it.
Thank you very much

Hi back and sorry for my late.
You are reporting that you have only once episode of watery diarrhea in the morning.
To my opinion it is most probably related with IBS. otherwise bacterial gut misbalance is another cause of you symptoms.
This is why I suggest to use antibiotic like metronidazole for one week and probiotic for 4 weeks to get improvement.
Hope it was helpful to you.
