Chronic diarrhea is a common symptom seen in the Gastroenterology clinic. Occasionally, the diagnosis is a real challenge as there are multiple entities with unremitting diarrhea as a symptom. Herein, we present a patient affected with intractable diarrhea who was transferred to our department. After many laboratory, endoscopy and radiological tests, she was diagnosed with autoimmune enteropathy (AE) and achieved clinical remission with corticosteroids and azathioprine.
