Work with an Online GUT Health Clinic


What is Diarrhea?

Diarrhea is a digestive condition characterized by loose, watery stools that occur more frequently than normal. While occasional diarrhea – often caused by new foods, stress or illness – is common and often resolves on its own, chronic diarrhea can signal a more serious underlying issue within your gut. Whether it's triggered by gut infections, food intolerances, stress, or gut imbalances, frequent diarrhea can severely impact your quality of life.

We understand the frustration and discomfort diarrhea can cause – and that’s why our goal is to identify the root causes of your symptoms and offer targeted, long-term solutions for relief.

Our Approach to Diarrhea

Our team at The Functional Gut Health Clinic takes a comprehensive and personalized approach to managing diarrhea. Our focus is on understanding what’s contributing to your symptoms so that we can address those underlying issues effectively. Here’s how we approach diarrhea with our clients:

  • Reset strategies for immediate relief
    We implement short-term strategies to relieve diarrhea while we work on long-term healing. These may include probiotics, binders, nervous system support and other strategies to help you feel more comfortable in the short-term.

  • Functional testing to identify root causes
    Functional lab testing is used to identify the underlying causes of chronic diarrhea, such as gut imbalances, food intolerances, SIBO or nutrient malabsorption. Identifying these root causes allows us to create personalized protocol recommendations. Learn more about our gut testing.

  • Addressing the root causes
    Once we’ve identified those root causes, we develop personalized protocols to address them. This may involve dietary and lifestyle changes as well as supplements such as antimicrobial herbs and microbiome supports.

  • Long-term strategies for sustained gut health
    While addressing the root causes of diarrhea, we also focus on building a strong foundation for lasting gut health. This includes optimizing digestion, detoxification pathways and motility, promoting healthy lifestyle changes, and making dietary adjustments to prevent future relapse and support long-term gut resilience.

By addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes of diarrhea, we can help you regain control of your gut health – and regain control of your life.

Common Questions about Diarrhea

What causes chronic diarrhea?

Chronic diarrhea can be caused by a range of factors, including gut infections, food intolerances, medications, or imbalances in gut bacteria. The best way to know for sure is conducting functional  testing, which may include stool or breath testing to help identify the root causes of your diarrhea. Learn more here.

Can stress cause diarrhea?

Yes, stress can play a significant role in triggering or worsening diarrhea. Managing stress through lifestyle changes and targeted therapies can help reduce these symptoms.

How can I stop diarrhea naturally?

Natural treatments for diarrhea include dietary changes, probiotics, and natural supplements designed to support gut health and reduce inflammation. At our clinic, we customize these interventions to fit your needs.
