Microscopic colitis: This condition causes severe, watery diarrhea, and crampy pain.Irritable bowel syndrome: This condition can cause fluctuating gastrointestinal symptoms, and sometimes triggers can be identified, but not always.Colon cancer: Early-stage colon cancer rarely causes any symptoms and is a rare cause of chronic diarrhea accompanied by bloody stools and weight loss.Some parasites, such as Giardia, are not as easily recognized, so they are more likely to be misdiagnosed, linger, and cause chronic diarrhea. Infections: Sometimes gastrointestinal infections either don't resolve, have a tendency to recur, or are followed by other infections, resulting in lingering diarrhea.Food sensitivities: Several food sensitivities can cause chronic diarrhea, either due to allergic responses or intolerance.Diarrhea may alternate with constipation or pencil-thin stools. Diarrhea, stomach pain, rectal bleeding, fever, and weight loss may occur for weeks or months, often resolving for a period of time before recurring. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD): Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can cause intermittent, chronic diarrhea.
