Why do people get diarrhea when they're nervous?
Question:
Answers:
"Nervous diarrhea," in its more severe form a component of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), is very common and often shows up briefly when we face the stress of a term paper or a job interview. However, some people suffer nervous stress fairly constantly and may have continuous diarrhea because of it.
Being nervous does not cause people to get diarrhea. It only makes your stomach feel weird.
I know what you mean. I have IBS and it's worse when I'm nervous. That's probably what's wrong.
