Suggest Treatment For Aches And Diarrhea

I have had diarrhea for 5 days, actually like water, once I feel the urge to go it comes almost instantly. feeling achy, low temp 93, I had part of my colon removed 5 years ago, clean colonoscopy last month. Had my first attack of diverticulitis 3 months ago. Increased my fiber intake, taking 3 fiber pills daily. I took anti diarrea
pill and it has not helped.

HI
well come to HCM
Looking to your history given here you are not suppose to take the fiber pill, diarrhea may be due infection, this could be protozoa infection and for that "Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day" for 5 days, if this does not improved then this may need clinical examination, hope this information helps, take care.
