Like your doctor told you the cause of
Brainerd diarrhea has not yet been identified.
The possibility is that
Brainerd diarrhea is caused by a
chemical toxin, but no such toxin has yet been found.
Because the etiologic agent is unknown, there is no laboratory test that can confirm the diagnosis.
As you see this is very mysterious disease and goal of treatment is to reduce bowel motility.
The drugs used for this are opioid antimotility drugs, such as loperamide, diphenoxylate, and paregoric.
There are also some positive facts about this disease and those are that
Brainerd diarrhea is a self-limited illness and all patients fully recovered within three years.
