Dear Ask The Doctor: For the past three months I have had diarrhea - loose stools, 2 - 4 times a day. I am very tired and drained because of it. I just generally feel unwell. My blood tests have come back normal and I am due to have a colonoscopy in 3 weeks. I have had enough so was hoping there was something I can do in the meantime?
Dear Lesley: Loose stools may commonly be associated with excessive stress and overwork. You may want to avoid stress and have a healthy diet not including fried, greasy foods, dairy, cold drinks or raw vegetables. You may perform meditation, yoga or aerobics to reduce stress. Also try to note and avoid foods that may be aggravating your symptoms.
