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.
