What Causes Diarrhea After A Colonoscopy?

I have loose to runny stool every day for months. I have no cramping or other problems. I had a colonoscopy 3 years ago with no problem. I do go to the bathroom every morning and my stool is always very soft. I am 62, female, 135 lbs, active with no other problems. I do eat a lot of dairy and vegetables.

Hello,

It can be irritable bowel syndrome. Since, you say you went to colonoscopy and if there was anything diagnosed then you would be put on treatment. Maybe, your problems are more in your mind rather than the body.

I think you should start controlling your mind and stop worrying unnecessarily about any situations and live a good life then automatically your health will improve. You can take probiotics like Providac capsules to grow your gut flora.

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

Regards,
Dr. Archana
