    Hello, everyone, and thank you, grahame84!  Just a follow-up on my father's chronic diarrhea that was reported some months ago on this string.   He had diarrhea for nearly 2-months, around the clock.  Doctors had no clue what the cause was, but your post gave me the answer.  It was Sertraline.  Had had only been on the drug for a few months, so he was able to stop taking it without consequence. Thank you for your post grahame84.  I believe you saved his life.
