Hello,
If you have had your gallbladder out then talk to your doctor about trying a medication to stop the diarrhea. Often people without a gallbladder will have frequent loose stools.
If that is not the case then try looking at your diet and stress levels. Stress can definitely cause loose stools. Try getting rid of all dairy for a while and if that does not work try eliminating gluten (harder). Also it may be helpful to add a daily probiotic.
