Chronic Diarrhoea – It Happens!
Diarrhoea that persists beyond a few weeks can be functionally debilitating and an indication of a significant underlying medical problem.

Appropriate treatment of the underlying problem is associated with improved outcomes for patients compared with symptomatic management alone.
