What To Do If Having Frequent Diarrhoea Bouts And Lichen Planus Both Oral And Skin?

I have been getting diarrhea very often. This causes me to lose a few pounds. Just had my routine colonoscopy and that was good. I have been dealing with lichen planus for over a year both skin and oral. Wondering if the autoimmune could be Celiacs. Also am monitored by Johns Hopkins Hospital in a study for a cyst on my pancreas since 2010.

Hi,

I really appreciate your concern, chronic diarrhea demands the great attention because it is not just the few reasons are there for it but it may be subtle as long as the underlying causes are concern, it is usually being suggested to get done the stool culture sensitivity it is to rule out the infection then later comes the other investigation besides the infection, one thing I would like to mention that passing the stool three to four times in day are normal one, but hydration needs to be taken care.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain Shaikh
