Can Be The Cause For Diarrhea?

Hi Dr Charles Narasi. I am a healthy 66-year-old female; in reasonable physical shape, just went on a weight loss plan & took off 25 pounds over a year. Within the past couple of weeks I ve had 2 situations where I feel I m going to have diarrhea & then don t quite make it to the washroom stall and everything lets go in my pants. How do I figure out if this is Krohn s Disease, or gluten sensitivity, or celiac disease. I don t eat much bread but did eat some last night for dinner & some today with lunch & dinner. Is there some testing I can do? Thanks. Margaret

Gastroenterologist 's  Response
Thank you for posting query at HCM

presentation: long history of diarrhea with tremendous loss of weight.

Celiac disease / gluten insensitivity is less likely,
most likely differential : Inflammatory bowel disease or adenoma or tumor

i strongly advice you to visit gastroenterologist at earliest and fix an appointment to undergo colonoscopy .

meanwhile until test result awaited,
advice:
- drink boiled water
- take ispagula with yogurt
- AVOID junk food(NO burger , pizza) altogether,
- avoid refired food and canned food
- avoid beverages / alcohol/ soft drinks

any further questions are welcomed.
hope to answer your concern.
