How To Cure Loose Stools?
Hello, I have been diagnosed with Salmonella TWICE within the last two months and been having abnormal stool. Best way to describe it would be loose. What I mean by "loose" is when the stool hits the water it begins to separate. I have taken two different antibiotics for each of the instances, but the "loose" stool have never stopped.

Hello,
Loose stool is not the signs of any disease but it is due to the diet only certain diet can cause the dyspepsia. It may cause a loose stool. It may not need any treatment and antibiotic can only be taken or it is being given by the physician when it is the evidence of some bacterial infection is there else it is not being given. So taking antibiotic is not advisable, but just try to change the diet, avoid taking heavy, spicy meal and more fiber containing diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
