    Hello, Dr. Dorina Sokol Gurabardhi.,
    The commonest cause of diarrhea is irritable bowel syndrome and malabsorption syndromes in which food cannot be digested and absorbed, and chronic infections. Increase bile in colon causes watery diarrhea. In irritable bowel syndrome having both diarrhea and constipation.

    Hello Dr Potnuru Srinivaasa Sudhakar,
    thank you for your suggestions.The patient does not have any episode of constipation so it's not an irritable bowel syndrome.
    I will ask for a blood test to see for any chronic infection.

    Hello Dr. Sultan,
    the patient has no familiar or personal history of autoimmune disease but anyway I'll ask her celiac serology just for confirmation. Thank you!

    Thanks Dr Dorina for valuing my opinion. Actually the recent guidlines recommend that before labelling a patient with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, celiac disease must be ruled out by serology.
