Suggest Treatment For Chronic Diarrhea And Abdominal Discomfort
I have had diarrhea for 7 days now and 3 times a day sometimes 6 times a day. I slight abdominal discomfort, no nausea, no vomiting. I am not pregnant. I have the Mirena placed, but I had it for about 3 weeks before the diarrhea set in. I haven t eaten anything out of the ordinary. Stay away from all dairy products due to being lactose intolerant. I am very concerned now and very uncomfortable going into the doctors. Is there medicine I can take at home?

Hii..
diarrhea and abdominal discomfort since 1 week but still you are not completly alright you can try drinking ORS that usually helps in increasing the electrolyte imbalance in the body due to diarrhea as well help in treatment amd regarding abdominal discomfort ,it may be probably some sott of food poisoning itself ,you need to just avoid spicy and oily food with that you can also consider little bit of physical activity .
If all these measures fail you can consider taking a pre or pro biotics ,actually curd is a good home remedy that you can consider but as you said you are lactose intolerant ...if you are fine having curd then its a good option ..
If still you are having symptoms then consider to meet your doctor for some antibiotic therapy
hope this information helps you ,get well soon.
thank you
