If you are having persistent diarrhea 3 to 5 times a day, without any apparent discomfort, it would definitely be advisable that you consult a gastroenterologist for examination, investigations including stools testing, and a possible colonoscopy examination. Doctor would be in a good position to diagnose you condition and advise you on the treatment. Please get this medical help at then earliest.
