Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
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
