Suggest Treatment For Constant Diarrhea While Having Non-Hodgkin S Lymphoma

My son is 1 yr clear of non Hodgkin s lymphoma. He has constant diarrhea even Imodium doesn t stop. Have seen endocrinologist and gastrologist. No answers. Say he has food allergy and only symptoms are diarrhea and dehydration. Some very excessive dry skin. Turns red or bruises with only slight touches.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I think you should do a stool culture to check for intestinal infection which may be causing it. Also you may do a total blood count and platelets count and visit hematologist to check hemorrhagie causes.

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

Regards,
