    Keep a record of your diet, and of the occurences of these nights. Then take it to your doctor.

    Possible causes:
    Too much fat in foods
    Too much sugar
    Big changes in diet
    Some foods are laxatives (salads if you're not used to it)
    Lactose Sensitivity/Intolerance
    Gall bladder
    Irritable Bowel Syndrome
    Celiac disease/gluten sensitivity
    Certain genetic tendencies
    Some medications
    Certain allergies/sensitivities

    Also, if the OP is female, your hormones contribute to digestion too so see if this coincides with your hormone fluxuations (i.e. ovulation and period.) I used to get BAD stomach cramps & diarrhea regularly too, two nights before my period.

    The IBS mentioned above is pretty common, though normally its more frequent and throughout the day.

    Honestly I feel like either you A) have a habit of eating something you're sensitive to, only at dinner, and only twice a month, or B) its something to do with your hormones (again, assuming you're female.) Your hormones may be swinging way too wildly.

    Add: Might be your gall bladder, eliminate fatty foods, etc, meat, dairy, cheese and see what happens, speaking from experience.

    Depends on your diet, I just found out that I am a blood type a negative and should not be eating meat or dairy, it changed my life. I used to live in the bathroom, since I've changed my diet I can sleep all night again. Eliminate milk, dairy, eggs, cheese and see if anything changes. Couldn't hurt to try a few days, if not I would go to a gastro dr.

    it could be caused by a number of things ...some are serious...some not so serious...you need to see a doctor...because of the length of time

    What do you eat right before this happens? Whatever it is could be setting off your diarrhea.

    1-2 times every month seems like a lot for this to happen. Have you noticed anything in your diet that leads to this?
