mild diarrhea for past week but not ill

I never usually have diarrhea but for the past week I'm having complete liquid/very close to liquid stools 4-5 times a day.
It's especially bad/painful cramps before first thing in the morning.

I'm not feeling ill other than the stomach cramps when I need to go, has anyone got any ideas about what could be causing this? Is there anything I can eat to help?

Me too! No ideas sorry, but I've been getting the same. It's also getting worse as today I'm feeling queasy all day. Not very helpful I know, but I can at least pass on some solidarity!

Maybe we should try just having plain rice and water for a day or two.

I'm wondering if it's the extra water because of the heat causing it, I didn't drink enough yesterday really, but then this morning+today it wasn't quite as bad!

Not heard of rice helping, that's tea sorted then! Grin

Stress sometimes gives me diarrhoea. Have you got stuff going on just now?

It could be a bug, ibs or some sort of Colitis. I would see a Dr.
