Overview

Depending on the socio economic status of the population, chronic diarrhea can be caused by several factors. In a developing nation, the most likely causes of chronic bacteria include; mycobacterial and parasitic infections and less likely to include functional disorders such as malabsorption and inflammatory bowel diseases. In a developed nation however, the most likely cause of diarrhea include; irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease, malabsorption syndromes (such as lactose intolerance and celiac disease), and chronic infections (particularly in patients who are immunocompromised).

Causes

Watery diarrhea

  • Osmotic diarrhea
    • Mg2+, PO43-, SO42- ingestion

    • Bacterial toxins
    • Ileal bile acid malabsorption
    • Inflammatory bowel disease
