Chronic diarrhea for almost a month! What could this be? 😩

hello everyone! i need your help. I've been having watery poo for weeks now and it's worrying me so much. my stomach only aches occasionally and it's about 2/10 kind of pain. but it usually rumbles and there's a lot of gas. I also experience hurt burn. I went to the doctor and she just said it could be lactose intolerance so i steered off lactose but my diarrhoea still hasn't cleared off. i know you aren't doctors but can someone please help me get down with what's happening in my body. i suspect this is IBS but I don't know if IBS could last this long? anyone please reply 🥺

IBS usually starts AFTER an infection of some kind, I think and it also sounds like this is a new thing for you so you need some tests to see what could be causing it. Ask for parasite testing ( multiple samples) and celiac testing.

I have the same thing you have. It started the Wednesday after Labor Day. I went to Blowing Rock NC for Labor Day weekend. My husband also has it. My stomach rumbles alot also. My stomach does not hurt and I have alot of gas out of both ends. My best friend at work also has the same problem as you and I. I have had the antibody test for Covid which came back negative, however, my doctor said the antibody does not stay in your system more than 3 months. With me the diarrhea comes and goes. Usually here for 5 days and then gets a little better for 2 days and then returns. Look at the forum on this website on coronavirus. I hope we both get rid of this soon. Good luck.

coronavirus is impossible. i rarely go out, so do my family because we have a lot of elderlies here so we try not to have outside contact as much as possible. xx it’s clearing up a bit now, i think it’s just IBS, as I’m having a mild constipation now after the diarrhea. i hope you get better too xx
