On Friday, four days ago, I became very scared and nervous, over something that has turned out to be a non-issue. Within a few hours of my worrying, I felt the need to go to the bathroom. I had a mild case of diarrhea. Mostly gas and a little bit of very moist soft stools.
The problem is that my stools have not returned to normal. I'm going to the bathroom about six times a day, and only have very small amounts of feces. Otherwise I feel fine, look normal, but Ive lost about three pounds, and my appetite has suffered.
On Monday, I had basic blood work done and urine specimen taken which came back normal. I have an appointment with my general practioner in a couple of days.
I was happy and in good health right up until this incident. I do believe it is a result of the anxiety, I felt, because a similar incident happenned to me about a year ago, after worrying about a bad reaction i had to neuronton for sciatic pain. I remember it being more like normal diarrhea, and only lasted a few days.
Now I'm worried that this is going to be a chronic problem, which is probably making my situation worse.
Will this situation clear up by itself, or what is the normal course of treatment for this problem? Thank you RLM4949
