Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.
The treatment of diarrhea is both symptomatic and etiologic. Possible cause of diarrhea and abdominal bloating may include:
-Viral infections, digestive bacterial and parasitic infection
-Medications like some antibiotics
-Lactose intolerance
-Artificial sweeteners
-Digestive disorders like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, microscopic colitis and irritable bowel syndrome.
- And many others.
You may have to se your Doctor for examination and tests.A stool exam/culture and sensitivity test may be very useful as you may need a course of antibiotics. In the meantime, i will advise you try the following:
*Take oral rehydration salt to replenish fluid and ions losses
*Take an anti-diarrheal like imodium
*Fruits like bananas may help improve on your stool quality
*Avoid certain foods such as dairy products, fatty foods, high-fiber foods or highly seasoned foods for now
*Consider taking probiotics
Hope this will help.
Wish you speedy recovery.You may write back if more concerns.
Best regards
