Suggest Remedy For Fatigue, Diarrhea And Abdominal Bloating

Hi, it s about my 18 year old daughter. She went to India in July with her school. While there, she had sickness and diarrhea, along with most of the group. She went to university in September, so is away from home and registered under a new doctor, but they don t seem to have an appointments. She is still having some symptoms, her stomach swells up, she is very tired and keeps getting flu symptoms (coughing etc). My main concern is her stools. When she goes to the toilet, there is white particles mixed in them.. It sounds to me like she has worms but I m not sure because it s been there for a few months. I phoned her earlier and she told me that when she went to the toilet yesterday, the white bits were separate to the stools. Please can you advise, thank you.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history related to your daughter who visited India and developed intestinal symptoms which have continued and now she has white spots in the stool.
The commonest causes are:
Undigested food particles,
Worms
Desquamated mucosa due to inflammation. and so on.
The best way to get treated is to have a proper diagnosis by Stool examination on 3 consecutive days, tests of blood and urine.
Ultrasonography.
A course of Albendazole with 15 days gap within 2 dosages.
A 5 day course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics with activated charcoal tablets.
I am sure she will be fine.
