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 had two recent episodes of extreme diahrrea which last for about 2 days. The first time was after I had eaten a large amount of fairly greasy pizza and the second time followed a day of eating numerous spicy foods. Immodium didn t seem to help in controlling and I have had to do some bland foods in order to eventually recover from these bouts. I have never really had a problem with spicy or greasy foods before this. I have had 2 different colonscopies which indicate some colon polyps and diverticulosis. Any recommendations? Thank you.
Colon polyps needs resection and a biopsy study to see if they are benign or malignant in nature. Please proceed for same. Also take tab. Sporolac in case diarrhea occurs again. Consume more food and water or fluids. Don't starve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
