I have had diarrhea for almost 2 weeks straight.

Question

Is it normal to have the runs so often? I’m a 28 year old female. I haven’t changed my diet up at all – I just wonder why I have the runs SO often? Is this normal? Should I go to the Dr.? What would be some reasons as to why I would have the runs so often for so long? It seems everytime I sit down to use the toilet - I have a case of the runs (whether it be bad or not so bad - something always comes out). Sorry this is so graphic - I'm just a bit worried whether I should be worried or not?

Answer 1

You should probably see a doc. Longterm, this can be severely debilitating. You haven't changed your diet, but what about environmental factors? There are lots of bacteria that can cause diarrhea. Are your kitchen and all utensils perfectly clean? What pets do you have? Do you come in contact with a lot of people (especially children) in your day to day life?

There are loads of reasons why this might be an on-going problem, but you really should go to your doctor who will know all the questions you need to be asked.
