How Can Diarrhea And Abdominal Cramps Be Treated?
I am an 84 year old fm with a diarrhea problem. Occasionally I have a diarrhea attack with no warning(like an explosion) with slight cramping. this will last for one or two bouts at a time. I may go for a month before another episode. I have tried eliminating foods, milk products etc with no change. I have had a colon exam and lactose testing all neg. Any suggestions.

dear sir/mam
I understand the problem we are experiencing here.
Sometimes this type of complains are quite common with all our elderly patients ,so nothing to worry about,
We see here ,mostly the cause lies in improper.digestion
As age advances sometimes we have a digestion problem,so please have some enzymes with a normal general check up with your physician.More over plz strictly maintain a regularity in your food.Increase the dietary fibre & fluids aswell.
hope this helps
Most welcome for further queries.
