Nutrition consultation for chronic diarrhea
Frequent or chronic diarrhea, without having found a clear cause? You are not alone. At Épithélia, digestive health is our specialty: our team helps you identify the possible causes and structure a diet that supports more regular bowel movements.
You don’t have to handle this alone. A first appointment is enough to get it clear.
Symptoms and signs to watch out for
Occasional diarrhea differs from chronic diarrhea that persists for several weeks. Frequent, soft stools, associated cramps, or diarrhea that alternates with episodes of constipation are signs that warrant evaluation.
Our clinical approach to chronic diarrhea
Our approach begins with an in-depth evaluation of your digestive history, eating habits, and symptoms. Our nutritionists ask specific clinical questions, often different from those asked by other professionals, to pinpoint possible causes before building a personalized action plan, rather than simply aiming for a temporary cessation of symptoms.
Over time, monitoring allows the approach to be adjusted in line with the evolution of your symptoms.

Laurence VézinaNutrition and diarrhea
Nutrition plays a central role in managing chronic diarrhea, but quick solutions without medication (certain foods, teas, or supplements) do not replace an evaluation of underlying causes. Our team helps you identify your triggers and structure a diet that promotes more stable transit.
Rates and insurance coverage
Nutrition consultations are generally covered, in whole or in part, by collective insurance (receipt submitted for reimbursement). First consultation: 175$. Follow-ups: between 120$ and 135$.
Frequently asked questions
What are the possible causes of chronic diarrhea?
Possible causes include food intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, an unresolved infection, or an imbalance of the gut microbiome. A personalized assessment allows us to identify the causes specific to your situation.
Can diarrhea be stopped without medication?
Some dietary approaches can help slow down transit, but they do not replace identifying the underlying cause. Temporary relief without understanding the underlying cause risks leaving the problem to return.
Chronic diarrhea: when to consult?
If diarrhea persists for several weeks, if it is accompanied by involuntary weight loss or significant pain, a consultation allows the cause to be identified quickly.
Ready to understand what causes your diarrhea?
Every week of waiting is one more week with symptoms that you might start to manage better. Our clinical nutrition team is here to support you, step by step.
