Fun fact, you looked this up because you are at this moment sitting on the toilet and researching diarrhea

[dacisky]

Could you explore explosive, uncontrollable diarrhea that can occur with or without warning and sometimes be followed by severe pain. Also, people who have diherria in their sleep. Thank you.

Perfect timing! I just ordered breakfast and sat down and started looking for a video to watch

[odbgaming]

I'm lactose intolerant and I can say from experience the bloating can be extremely painful. I came close many times of getting diarrhea.

[TheRealJuseBeats]

Dang they really had to show the dude pooping lol 😂

I wish I had a doctor like you to help me through my gruesome attacks.

I have taken omeprazole for 13 years and had diarrhea for the same amount of time, so I think the Omeprazole is causing it. Still, I need the medication because of a pre-cancer from acid, But about three months ago I started a B-O-A-T breakfast which is a Banana, Oatmeal, Apple sauce, And Toast breakfast, For three months I have had almost no diarrhea, It's been a life changer. I hope this helps someone else.

Great video - only one I could find that explains the causes for each type, which I needed to know for my veterinary degree. Thanks!

I wasn't sure what my problem would fall under . Three days ago I saw like a red string in my bowl movement.
Then a day later I got water only passing . There was no food bits just water . I've never had this type of diarrhoea before. I love your clear explanation on this subject . Thank you Dr.

[HakaseYuki]

Watching while eating watery breakfast. Awesomeness

[jontnoneya]

Oh I'm so relieved to hear chronic doesn't happen unless it's been going on for like 4 weeks or more. So many people have told me like 3-5 days and that seems incredibly fast time frame. And small amounts of blood in the stool may often be caused by inflammatory? OMG THANK YOU!!! So often when I talk to people they're like "ANY BLOOD IS CANCER BRO". I know those are both guidelines not hard and fast rules but honestly this video is quite a comforting. THANK YOU!!

I'm a recovering alcoholic with 10 years of sobriety. I make poop soup every morning. Before I got sober I had pancreatitis twice. Luckily it isn't uncontrolled or unpredictable.

[CircleB-igmk]

Thank you!! I really appreciate this video and it's information. You did a great job of explaining!

[billjamison]

Can you help me with unpredictable diarrhea ? Here's one example of what happened to me. I was at the mall shopping. I felt fine, but then without warning I felt queezy. Within 5 seconds I felt a small warm drip in my underwear. I rushed to the cashier and asked her if there was a restroom and she told me that she couldn't allow customers to use it. I begged her and she told me to go to the food court. 3 seconds later, I burst. I solid stream of liquid poo started pouring out, down both legs and out the bottom of my pants onto the carpet in the store. I could not stop it from coming out. She screamed at me so I ran out of the store, poop still running down my legs, and I left a trail. I ran all the way to the food court, leaving little globs all over the place. I ducked into a stall and wiped myself off the best I could and washed my jeans in a sink. I left my underwear on the floor and fled in shame. What causes such a massive flow of liquid poo with no warning ?
