Hi,

Certainly, a drug that has a direct action on gut motility such as sibutramine will often cause diarrhea. The digestive enzyme of pineapples would maybe digest meat taken with it but that would not generally trigger diarrhea. Sometimes an herbal medication is contaminated with other things that can directly irritate the gut. The quality control of non-drugs is basically non-existent.

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

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
