*i had diarrhea at one point of my journey badly. I found out by testing at Drs office that i had c-difficle, its a bacterial infection. I took flagil , it was awful then vancomicin and it worked well to cure it, these are antibiotics , also u might be eating too much fiber in your diet which can create diarrhea,*
