4 years now with a stoma and seem to have done well (I fib a lot! lol). I drink a lot of juice throughout the day and never seem to have a problem. Recently, I began to drink cranberry/strawberry juice. Do you think cranberry juice might be the cause of diarrhea?

Probably the sugars in the juice.

Stop drinking it for a week and see if diarrhea stops.

Cranberry juice is not your typical suspect for diarrhea, but as Hibiscus alluded, sugar is a primary suspect for diarrhea. Diarrhea leads to dehydration, so make sure you are rehydrating.

I drink some form of cranberry juice daily. I've never had diarrhea as long as I've had my bag.
