    This table outlines the mechanisms and etiologies of chronic diarrhea by categorizing it into osmotic, secretory, inflammatory, and motor types based on results of stool collection. Osmotic diarrhea results from an osmotic gap over 50 mosmol/kg and can be caused by lactase deficiency, artificial sugars, magnesium malabsorption, or exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Secretory diarrhea shows an osmotic gap under 50 mosmol/kg and may stem from enterotoxins, hormones, bile acid malabsorption, or collagenous/lymphocytic colitis. Inflammatory diarrhea features neutrophils or elevated calprotectin and can result from inflammatory bowel disease, radiation colitis, or

    TABLE 1

    Mechanism and etiology of chronic diarrhea


    IBD: Inflammatory bowel disease; VIP: Vasoactive intestinal peptide
    Mechanisms Results of stool collection Etiologies
    Osmotic Fecal osmotic gap > 50 mosmol/kg  Lactase deficiency
     Artificial sugars (mannitol, sorbitol,
    etc.)
     Magnesium
     Malabsorption
     Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency
     Bacterial overgrowth

    Secretory Fecal osmotic gap < 50 mosmol/kg  Diarrhea caused by enterotoxins (for
    example, V. cholerae, E. coli)
     Hormones (serotonin, VIP, gastrin)
     Malabsorption of bile acids
     Collagenous colitis
     Lymphocytic colitis
    Inflammatory Neutrophils in stools  IBD
    Elevated fecal calprotectin  Radiation colitis
     Entero-invasive infections
    (e.g., Shigellosis, Y. enterocolitica,
    Entamoeba histolytica)
    Motor Normal fecal calprotectin  Irritable bowel syndrome
     Diabetes
     Scleroderma
     Bacterial overgrowth
