What Causes Chronic Diarrhea After Discontinuing Lasix?
HELLO, DR,I have been taking Amiloride 5 mg with Lasix. I have Crohn s and have been having good luck with my bowels lately. Dr. changed me to Amiloride 20 mg a day and deleted lasix. Suddenly I have explosive diarrhea, with no time to get to the toilet. Can amiloride at that dosage irritate my bowels? My email is YYYY@YYYY . Thank you.

What Causes Chronic Diarrhea After Discontinuing Lasix?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Both frusemide and amiloride may cause diarrhea, but amiloride cause bloating abdomen, dyspepsia and diarrhea more than lasix. Also check for other possible causes like food intolerance or Irritable Bowel syndrome or infection, etcetera. Please consult your physician who will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
