Brief Answer: Please clarify... Detailed Answer: Hi, I understand you posted this question to a gastroenterologist. Since your query is unattended for a while which is very rare on this website, and as I have plenty of experiences with patients like you, I shall take an opportunity to answer it on behalf of specialist. Please indicate to me if you aren't satisfied with the following response. At the outset, I am not very clear about your symptoms. As per my knowledge gastroenteritis almost always refer to inflammation of intestines secondary to infection, medications and toxins. It presents with complaints of loose stools, incomplete bowel emptying (tenesmus), abdominal cramps, nausea and other prodromol symptoms. Stool tests and other routine investigations often confirms the cause and guides us towards treating it. I am not very sure if this is what you have. If it is, I would like to know how long have you been dealing with this problem and if you had undergone few or several tests. If you have something else, please list your symptoms along with duration of complaints. And since it also seems like you have tried treating it, it would help me if you can list various treatments done yet. I look to have good discussion with you on this issue. And I hope you will get back to me. Regards
