Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Can Cause Persistent Diarrhea And Tenderness Around The Sternum While Suffering From IBS?
Yes. I have had persistent very loose stool with several bowel movements a day . It usually happens within 30 - 45 minutes after I have ate. I am also very tender around my sternum. I do have irritable bowel syndrome for which I take Linzess. This has been going on for apprx 2 months.
The persistent diarrhea is due to inflammatory bowel issue, giving gut flora disturbances. The tenderness around the sternum indicates possible gastritis with or without underlying stomach or duodenal ulcer.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
