Suggest Cure For Diarrhea

I moved to Austin in summer of 09, when I moved back home I had started noticing that I was having stomach problems. No matter what I ate it gave me diarrhea within the hour. I saw a GI specialist, took gave them a stoll sample, had a colonoscopy done, and put on different diet to see if anything would work. No of which did work. He thought maybe I had gotten a parasite from the lake in Ausitn, so I was put on a 10 day medicine trying to get rid of it. This was back in April of 10. After taking the medicine It seemed to be working, all in the past month or two my stomach has been getting upset again, not as bad as it was then, but my stoll s arent hard like they should be and i m pooping or haivng diarrhea 3-4 times a day. Do you think it was ever a parasite or maybe something was over looked

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to parasites.

I would recommend doing a stool test to confirm the diagnosis.

If the diagnosis is confirmed there are several over the counter option to treat this diagnosis.

I would recommend Albendazole as the common medication used in this case.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
