Title: Diagnostic yield of esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, and small bowel
endoscopy in Thai adults with chronic diarrhea

Reviewer's report:
Dear Editors and authors,
I realized that the authors did put the high effort the revise the manuscript. I think this work is
much improved. However, I still have two major concerns as the following;
1. The author changed the definition of chronic diarrhea by adding the time <4 weeks, regarding
to the reviewer 2's suggestion. I totally agreed with the reviewer 2's suggestion. I'm not sure that
why the number of included patients per year was not decreased (50-60 pt. per year) and the
percentage of IBS patients was still high. Because the definition was more concise. the average
number of patients per year  as well as the number of IBS patients should be decreased. Please
re-check the data.
2. From the response to editor No.4, the author said that "The median amount of weight loss
was 0 kg with the interquartile range of 0-3 kg". But these data were different from the data in
Table 1. I'm not sure which one is correct.
