diarrhea

[mwooluff42]

I have constant yellow watery diarrhea, no matter what I eat. I am female 68 and colonoscopy found nothing.


This discussion is related to Yellow liquid with bowel movements.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Chronic diarrhea can be due to parasitic infestations.  Other causes are irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, crohn’s disease, malabsorption syndromes, pancreatic diseases, diabetes, hyperthyroidism etc. HIV too is a causative factor.
I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

is it only after you eat and is it almost immediately after you eat? If so, it could be your gallbladder......I had to have mine taken out

I would ask your doctor if Niacin (1500 mg per day) might help you.  You might be missing something that this might help.  However, it does cause flushing, so a lower mg to start might be advisable, and also eat a larger dose of fibre (apples, potato -with skin, lettuce, broccoli, etc.) as it tends to constipate you a bit, but if you can find the fine balance, it might help you.
