Diarrhea and the pill

Hannah

I’ve read that having diarrhea can make the birth control pill become less effective. I have anxiety induced IBS, which pretty much means I have diarrhea almost exclusively. I’ve seen a doctor for it before and there wasn’t much able to be done about it except antidepressants which help with the anxiety but not with the diarrhea so I’ve come to accept it. Does this mean my birth control isn’t working as well? I take Cyclafem 1/35.
