Suggest Treatment For Digestion Problem And Diarrhea
I have some unexplained digestive troubles. Diarrhea, bloating, noticed some mucus in stool a few times and today an odor like burned rubber. I haven t made any significant changes to my diet other than taking iron and acidophilus probiotic supplements over 2 weeks ago. Other symptoms have been excessive gas, some rectal discomfort like mild itching and burning. I also have hemorrhoids from when I gave birth to my children if that makes any difference. 21 year old female.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of digestion problem and diarrhea which seems to be due to disturbance of electrolytic balance of body. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food intolerance , food allergy , bacterial or viral infection , parasitic infection or inflammatory bowel disease. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide. Take oral rehydrating solution as well. You should take small and frequent meals rather than large meals at a time. Avoid outside food. You should eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
