Jennifer, I think you need to get in for a check!. It may be that you've picked up an enteric pathogen, shigella or something!. It could literally be the worse case scenario from "something you ate"!.

Diarrhea for a month indicates GI issues that just aren't getting better on their own!. They'll probably do a stool culture (meaning they get you to "go" in a cup and then they'll do a series of micro cultures) They'll probably do a microscopic exam of the stool sample as well!.

I doubt curing you is going to be a real problem, but they need to find out which bug or parasite might be causing this!. And if money is an issue, go to your county health department, this is something they could easily take care, maybe for free - who knows!.

This should never be left untreated for more than a few days, it may well be an infection that could need antibiotics to clear!.
Without proper medical advice the worry will add to your problems!. A good pharmacist can advise you when it first occurs but they will also tell you to see a doctor ASAP after all this time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi!. I`ve been having this problems for the past 2 years! Doctors says it`s IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)!. Have you been to the doctor yet!? Are you losing weight!?
First of all dont panic!. Perhaps it`s some bacterial problem!. Please do go and make an appoiment with a gastroentrologist!. Let him rule out what`s causing the problem!. It`s nothing dangerous!. Get yourself treated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would go to the doctor first! If you have had this for a month you could have a virus or more serious problem!. If you can't get in right away, I would eat yogurt!. It is a natural way to stop diarrhea!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
