Does Cymbalta Medication Cause Loose Motion?

I have been taking cymbalta for over a month. I ve been having loose runny stools almost everyday and have lost approximately 10 lbs. I had gastric bypass surgery in 2003. My BM have been normal up to this time. I have some fecal incontienence as well. Do you think that it could be the medication or GBY surrgery causing this? Thanks Nancy

Hi,

Your medication has to do nothing with your complaint and also your surgery. You need to ask for stool analysis and colonoscopy is preferred.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
