Explained possible causes and advises
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
If I was your boyfriend's caring doctor, these will be my recommendations:
1) Make sure his diet is healthy- lots of fruits and vegetables, plenty of fluids, no junk food, no smoking or alcohol.
2) Drinking fluids it is very important for him. Avoid milk, but have a diet with BRAT (Banana-rice-apple-toast). Take probiotics to stabilize the normal flora of the bowel- he may find them without a prescription in the local pharmacy.
3) It may be a viral gastrointestinal infection, or a bacterial infection (especially if you have fever). Make sure he get checked with Stool for Ova and Parasite, if this problems lasts more then 3 weeks.
4) If he hasn't done a colonoscopy or if he has more then 5-10 years from the last one, then maybe it is time to do it. The colonoscopy will tell for sure what it is happening with your boyfriends bowel. But for now, he can wait for 3-4 weeks, because these symptoms may go away just by following the advises above.
Hope this is helpful.
