Suggest Treatment For Heavy Diarrhea
Question: Started with heavy diarrhea - (In and out) - after 1 year of this ended up in out patience - diagnoses was heavy bladder infection that went up into the intestines. This is partial cleared up. Doctors visit on the 23rd - still some infection in bladder. Weight loss is my mayor concern and because I battle to eat find it very difficult to gain back the 14kg I lost in a period of 6 months. Topzole 40m has now been described for me - my complaint was feeling bloated and unable to eat.
I only way 40 kg at present. Diarrhea has stop thank goodness. Blood test reveal that my liver is taking stress. Is Topzole 40 sufficient to get me back on track to gaining weight. Still have that bloated feeling as though my ribcage is to small for my intenstines. Recent numbness in right elbow (the skin) no feeling.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Looking at your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Topzole along with Adco-Mayo gel is provided to reduce gastritis, while Clopanon is provided to reduce any vomiting.
2. Bloating is commonly due to gastritis. However other causes include change in gut flora and malabsorption.
3. The gut flora change could be due to antibiotics treatment. Taking probiotics and yoghurt will improve the flora. Secondly, look into your diet if any food specifically causes bloated feeling. Usually milk products or legumes cause it. If no specific food is causing, then look at the amount of fiber you take in your diet.
4. Take soluble fiber in your diet like fruit fiber and fiber in certain vegetables like potato or carrot. Chewing and complete absorption is important, as any unabsorbed food can reach the intestines, where the bacteria use it and can produce gas resulting in bloated feeling.
5. Take multiple small meals and avoid going for too much fatty food. Take a nutritious diet. Take around 8 meals - small meals/day. Weight gain will be slow, but you will gain back in 2-3 months.
6. Sleep well, importantly at night 8-9 hours is required.
7. Numbness in right elbow - Add Vit B12 supplements into your diet. It should help. It could be early peripheral neuropathy. However, if you have any discoloration at the area, then other things can be thought of.
8. Take good amount of fluids. It will reduce recurrence of bladder infection.
Continue with medications and also try few additions, which I have mentioned.
After every antibiotic therapy, take probiotics to improve gut bacteria.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
