This is something I read on another self-help website - someone was told by her doctor that it's "quite common" for middle-aged women to get something called "collagen colitis", where there is a build-up of collagen in the lower bowel which prevents water from being absorbed and leads to diarrhea.I have never heard of this - anyone shed any light on it? Sounds might suspect to me but then i'm not a medical professional!liz
