Hello. I have been having diarrhea for several weeks. I have no abdominal pain and no other symptoms whatsoever. In fact, I feel completely healthy, and this is why I was not even aware of it at first. I always drink a lot of water, and tried to explain it with this. Plus, I drink a cup of coffee in the morning, and always noticed (years ago) that I tend to have diarrhea when I drink coffee, same as when I exercise.
I probably would not even have been concerned, if I had not read something about chronic diarrhea lately, and that it can easily be a sign of a serious disorder; but I did a bit of research, and I always found abdominal cramps or such as another symptom, which I do not have at all. So i'm wondering if I should be concerned at all, or if it should try to regulate it with some nutritional changes? I'm staying with some friends since a few weeks, and there I don't eat as many fruits and vegetables as I used to. And I noticed that when I eat a few carrots throughout the day, I don't have diarrhea, or at least it is significantly better.
I would be grateful for any suggestions. I don't have much money available for doctor visits currently, so I would not want to go there unless I really have to. Besides, are there other nutritional changes I could try? Can drinking tap water play a role?? I'm trying to think of all the changes in my life that may have something to do with it.
