Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea

Hello, Thank you for your query. It is not normal to get stomach upsets a lot. Here are my suggestions: -get a stool analysis done along with a culture to check for bacteria growth and parasites. -stay well hydrated- about 3 liters of water (that is if you have no medical reason not to do so) . If the stools are more than two a day and watery, electrolyte replacement will be needed too. Diet modifications : - Have smaller and frequent meals and chew food properly - avoid milk, sugar, carbonated, caffeinated beverages and spicy /oily food -avoid processed foods and refined grains. -include whole fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, sprouts in your diet. Natural fiber is fine. Avoid fiber supplements unless you are constipated and can t rectify it with diet modifications. -lastly stick to home made food. If you have no choice stick to steamed or baked foods from good restaurants. For the current episode : -Have probiotics everyday -notice any foods that trigger or worsen the condition. Even if you were not sensitive to it before you may be sensitive to it now. I recommend : - a physician consult -stool analysis (as mentioned above) -blood tests (complete blood count, liver function tests) -colonoscopy to check for intestinal causes of diarrhea. Hope this helps. I urge you not to take this lightly. Something is not right. Please seek medical attention if this continues or recurs. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Wish you good health
