Hello,

It is important that you make an appointment with a gastroenterologist (stomach specialist) for an exam like includes a flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy and stool sample.

You may have IBS (irritiable bowel syndrome), ulcerative colitis or other condition. You may be tired as a result of an infection and the possibility that you are not getting enough hydration and nutrients due to the excessive diarrhea.

Here is some info, let me know if you have questions:
