How Can Chronic Diarrhea Be Treated?

i have chronic diarrhea that has changed . It is so bad that I Cannot go into a store as I will start to have major panic mode because I am afraid of getting diarrhea and not making it to the bathroom without feeling the diarrhea is coming. I have had a lot of incidents where I have to know where a bathroom is at. MY husband has been living in q nursing home for 5 years and I have had major attacks where I HAD to call someone in the family to get some clothes out of the car. I went all over me and i was totally humiliated. I had diarrhea all over me and the bathroom. that happened fast. I don t go out anymore. I went to the emergency room 2 days in a row. they tested me for manythings; chrons disease, cdiff, etc. everything came out okay. I was put on lomotil and the very next day i had a normal BM. I then had to go to my family doctor referred me to a gastroenterologist in june. Can this diarrhea be cancer in any part of my body?

Hi,

When inflammatory disorders are ruled out for chronic diarrhea, second most common issue links to neuronal hypermotility mediated via Acetylcholine, Histamine, and Gastrin; which should be evaluated precisely and managed accordingly.

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