Suggest Cause And Remedy For Loose Motions And Stomach Cramps

I have bad stomach cramps and my stools are loose and clay colored. I have also sometimes pian in the upper right quadran spreading to my back. I had a blood test done that shows OK for liver and pancreas. I am set for an ultra sound but worry about something serious?

HI
Well come to HCM
I can understand your worry, but the given symptoms could be suggestive of some intestinal infection and most probably it is the protozoa infection, if you go for routine blood test then it may not show any abnormality even imaging study will not be positive.
If I would be doctor of this case then I would try to treat this case with anti-protozoa drug first like metronidazole 400 mg twice in day, if this was not responding then I would suggest for further investigations.
For the correct investigation what ever the necessary tests are there that has to be done without fear, if anything comes wrong then it will be given treatment and medication for cure, if nothing comes out then it is nothing to worry, so go for the suggested test, hope this information helps.
