hi

Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist
This recurrent diarrhoea needs to be investigated

I advise you to visit a Gastroenterologist who may advise you some blood test, stool examination and endoscopy examination.

Anxiety alone can not lead to recurrent diarrhoea at least lasting for 5-7 days

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
