How to Manage Your Diarrhea

This guide is for people who have diarrhea before, during or after cancer treatment. Diarrhea is common for people with cancer. It is loose, watery or unformed stool (poo) that might look like many little flakes or pieces, happens more than 3 or 4 times a day, may cause an urgent need to go to the bathroom and you may not be able to stop yourself from having a bowel movement (going poo), and can last for a few hours or become a problem that lasts a long time.
