I have been experiencing constant diarrhea or thin stool for a few months. I eat a healthy diet and don't know the reason for this. It can be very embarrassing as it comes suddenly and I have to use the bathroom immediately. I had a colonoscopy in March and everything was fine, but I have been under unusual stress recently due to moving and working a lot. Could it be IBS? I have a good appetite, am bloated all the time, and take a low dose of Plaquenil for preventative reasons along with many supplements. I am 65 years old and live a healthy lifestyle. I also sometimes have a little pain under my left rib cage. What can I do to address this issue?
