What Causes Chronic Diarrhea?

I think i may have IBS. Last October I went to the UK for a holiday and as soon as I got there i had a very loose bowel movement every morning which is very unusual for me as I always get very blocked up whilst on holidays. I have also had a few near misses where i had to get to the toilet very urgently, once after eating corn on the cob and other veggies. My bowel movements since then are usually very loose or solid but very skinny. Frequency is now back to what it has always been my whole life, i.e. every 4 or 5 days or so. Other than that i am very well, no weight loss or anything and 60 years old

Hello,

I will suggest you to monitor your weight. look into night time awakening because of this diarrhea and any fever , blackish discoloration or blood in your stools anemia or family history of colonic carcinoma. If there is no sign out of all these 4 signs then no need to worry about and most likely its just an IBS (psychological problem of intestines).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
