Need medication for diarrhea

Hello, I have had diarrhea or watery stool recently; almost for the past two weeks. I suspect that it may be the St. John s Worts that I am taking. I recently switched brands after realizing the GNC brand didn t work as the brand I was taking before. Could the St. John s Wort be responsible for this? I was taking the previous brand for a few months and didn t have any problems. If the St. John s Worts is the cause can the change back help?

Hello

Thanks for the query

If you have got diarrhea after starting St John Wort then it is most likely to be due to it
I recommend that you get back to the previous brand or stop at john wort to help you with the diarrhea. If the diarrhea does not subside then please visit your GP to rule out an infectious cause for the diarrhea

I hope in was of help

Regards
