Suggest Treatment For Persistent Diarrhea After Meals Despite Medication

Posted on Wed, 8 Jul 2015

Question: Hello, I am having trouble with my stomach, it is now almost 2 weeks I am suffering, I am passing watery loose motion just after the meals, and after that I feel okay. In starting I took Norflox -TZ one daily for initial 3 Days, but I found the Noflox TZ which I took was expired in XXXXXXX 15. Then I bought Norflox TZ and Imodium
and started taking twice daily for two days, but no benefit, then I consulted a Doctor and he recommend me to take Lamotil tab anlongwith ECONORM sachets, I tried that too for 2 days but no relief, then I visited my doctor again and he changed my medicines to Eldicet (Thrice daily half an hour before meals), Bifilac HP (Twice Daily) and Rifagut 550 mg ( Twice daily), I am taking these medicines since Monday Night but no relief yet, do I still need to continue same medicines. Please suggest.

Brief Answer:
Stop Eldicet and use Redotil

Detailed Answer:
HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.

Well it is very clear that you are having infection of your gut. With proper antibiotic it shall subside in 2-3 days. Since you had not taken antibiotic properly this has persisted for these many days.

Now you have started Rifagut since Monday. So today is the 3rd day , We can expect an improvement from tomorrow.

Also I advise you to stop Eldicet and start using Redotil . Kindly ask your doctor for this prescription.

If in spite of these measures loose motions persists get tested with Stool Culture sensitivity, IgM Typhi Dot.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

regards.

Since I am not in town due to office work and I don't have my Doctor's contact number, should I stop Eldicet and use Redotil as per your advice. Shold I stop taking milk also in breakfast, Can I take Tea instead.
To be specific about medicine I have to take below mentioned medicine

Redotil (Thrice Daily) - Half an hour before meal
Bifilac HP (Twice Daily) - After meal
Rifagut 550 mg ( Twice daily) - After meal

Should I take Metrogyl 400 also . Please suggest.

Go ahead.

Yes you can go ahead and start Redotil exactly in the way as you have mentioned. Also Bifilac HP and Rifagut as mentioned.

No need of Metrogyl as you had take Norflox TZ which contains Tinidazole which is similar to Metrogyl.
