Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been experiencing heartburn, acid feeling in stomach and occasional diarrhea. Was on antibiotics a few months ago. Also take Zantac 150 About 5 times a week. Doctor wants me to take stool samples. Any suggestions on what not to eat or if I should continue probiotics? Could I have a lactose intolerance? Thanks!
