What Causes Stomach Pain And Mucus In Stool Post Intake Of Kaopectate?

Giardiasis or Amoebiasis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The description about the bowel movements and stool appearance reminds me of giardiasis or Amoebiasis. They are parasites and not bacteria.
You need a good course of anti parasitic drugs like Mebendazole or Albendazole. Alternatively there are some good gut bacteria that turn bad sometimes and cause such movements they can be killed by Metronidazole type of medicines. Later these good bacteria can be replenished with external supplements like Lactobacillus.
All in all I feel you need a course of anti infective agents prescribed by your doctor only as they are with prescription.
Till then have soft and bland food that is easily digestible in nature.
Hope this is useful answer.
