Bile acid diarrhea is a form of chronic diarrhea caused by excessive bile reaching the colon. Conditions involving the terminal ileum and cholecystectomy are predisposing factors but an idiopathic form of bile acid diarrhea has also been described. In this study we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of bile acid diarrhea in patients consecutively evaluated for chronic diarrhea in an Outpatient Gastroenterology Clinic.
