What Causes Gas & Loose Stools?
Intestinal gas and loose stools often occur simultaneously with a variety of disorders and conditions. Incomplete digestion commonly leads to diarrhea. As undigested food reaches the large intestine, colonic bacteria break down the particles, producing gas. Functional disorders of the colon can also affect the consistency of stool and the production of gas. As many disorders can cause gas and loose stools, an accurate diagnosis proves pivotal in devising an effective treatment strategy.
