Can chronic diarrhea be cured?

Many causes are treatable. Celiac disease improves on a strict gluten-free diet; microscopic colitis often responds to budesonide; bile acid diarrhea can be managed with bile acid binders. IBS-D is often managed rather than cured, with many patients enjoying long symptom-free periods when treated properly. Early diagnosis and targeted therapy improve the chances of recovery or good symptom control.
