How Can Indigestion And Diarrhea Be Treated?
Hello _I have a 15 yr old son - he has frequent digestive issues. Diarrhea that will go on for days. His normally great appetite wanes.... This happens at least 1x a month where he will have 4-6 visits a day at the worst times. NO fever- no stomach cramps- he said he can feel his stomach churning tho. I put him on the BRAT diet and up the fluids -esp water.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best for him to be seen by a gastroenterologist for assessment.
This is a doctor that specializes in conditions of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, esophagus, intestines, liver).
He would examination, bloods and possibly imaging to determine the reason for his symptoms.
I hope this helps
