Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chronic diarrhea despite taking Probiotics. 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. You should take plenty of fluids to re-hydrate. Take diet rich in multivitamins and avoid any oily sharp and fast food. Take diet rich in fibres as well. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide . For now 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
