I'm glad I'm working from home today because this diarrhea stuff is annoying. I don't know what causes it, but obviously something unhealthy is going on. I think it's something I'm eating.  |
Irritable Bowel Syndrome often shows that pattern of constipation and diarrhea.
Do you think you might have IBS?
I have this type of a problem if I do not keep my fiber and water intake the same everyday. If I increase protein (can be constipating), I also increase fruits/veggies.
I omit dairy. If the constipation continues, I add a stool softener. (Not a laxative, unless things have gone on for far too long.)
Just a couple of ideas.
I hope you can find a balance which works for you.
