What Causes Diarrhea?
2. Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome is a condition where the patient is particularly sensitive to a wide range of foods. The patient can be left having to eat a very restricted diet lest they trigger the symptoms which can be very uncomfortable, and rather embarrassing. The severe cases of irritable bowel syndrome can have a profound negative impact on the patient’s quality of life.
Other disorders of the digestive system are also sometimes responsible for diarrhea. These include celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, microscopic colitis, and Crohn’s disease. Other digestive system disorders can also mean the patient will have a limited diet, but treatment may be able to help soothe the symptoms.
