What Causes Prolonged Diarrhea?
I have had diahrrea for the last 9 weeks? The Dr has finally taken me seriously and done some stool test, blood test and some X-ray. The X-rays show that my bowel is still full of feces. I go 20 to 25 times a day. And I eat very little. I also have IBS. If my bowel is full how is the stool getting out?

Hello,
It could be due to gastroenteritis or due to part of IBS.
As a first line management you can take drugs like racecadotril for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
