Is it possible that chickenpox can cause digestive issues? I got rid of chickenpox around a month back and ten days later I had occasional loose stools and gas. Still have them, mostly in the morning after breakfast (although right before breakfast I have normal bowel movements). No blood is seen and very occasional stomach discomfort is observed (no pain). Can anyone tell what this could be? I am freaked out I may need a colonoscopy or something.

The medicines taken in case of chickenpox may cause you gastric issues and it will correct in a week . You have to take normal home made food and avoid fatty diet and spices
