What Causes Chronic Diarrhea?
This is difficult. Embarrassing Have had thin, gassy, mucous-like (it floats) diarrhea with almost no stomach cramps for almost 2 weeks. Never had this before but have had diarrhea/ irritable bowel syndrome off and on for years, mainly when upset by something. This current stuff is new.
