Hi.
Thanks for asking in Healthcare Magic.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be constipation dominant or diarrhea dominant. It is a psychosomatic disorder and since you are hypersensitive, you are suffering from IBS. It is a motility disorder. The bowels are hypersensitive. Although H. pylori kit is effective in treating the H.pylori infection, the relapse is not uncommon. Malabsorption results in loss of weight. So unless the causative factor is treated, the chances for improvement may be less.

Econorm contains Saccharomyces species and it is a probiotic. A probiotic is a microorganism and contributes to intestinal microbial balance. It suppresses the intestinal pH and reduces the growth of harmful pathogens. It dislocates the attachment of the organisms causing diarrhea by preventing its attachment to the epithelial cells of intestine.

The probiotic Saccharomyces has been proved to be effective in the treatment of diarrhea, IBS, inflammatory bowel disease and other intestinal infections. Yogurt and buttermilk are XXXXXXX sources of probiotic. Also, the side effects of probiotic is minimal and there is no harm in taking a probiotic unless you have an immunosuppressive condition like cancer or HIV.

You can gain your health with a nutritious high fiber and low fat diet, the details of which are available in web sites. Once the diarrhea and malabsorption is controlled by the probiotic, your health will improve. Take fresh fruits, lot of yogurt, milk and vitamin supplements.

I hope this helps. Please address to me if you have any further concerns.
Regards.
