I get flare up of diarrhea once in a month with lethargy, loss of appetite and dry mouth. Why?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do you have lost some weight since the start of symptoms? Do you have noticed any triggers (diets, stress, change in lifestyle, or drinking alcohol ) before such episodes? Alcohol has a large amount of fermentable carbohydrates which can cause diarrhea, gas, and bloating, often episodes of binge drinking.

The common possibilities are that you have one of the above trigger which causes your gastrointestinal (GI) upsets. They can go unrecognized with episodes of symptoms as in your case.

The other possibility is endometriosis. Endometrium is the lining of the uterine cavity of the female internal genital tract. In menstruation, the lining sheds causing bleeding and pain. Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial tissue is implanted into gut, and it behaves similarly as one has menstruation on monthly cycles. It causes pain (at times very severe), diarrhea, and even bleeding from the gut. It is important that you notice yourself the temporal (time) relation between the onset of symptoms and onset of menstruation.

I want that you should provide me more information, as I can be able to investigate you properly in a specific direction, providing you target management plan which can fit you best.

I hope this helps.
