HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that there may be an infectious cause for your diarrhea. This would cause persistent diarrhea that you are experiencing.
Many cases of infectious diarrhea resolve with symptomatic treatment such as holding off solid food, probiotics and using fluids/electrolytes to replace what is being loss.
In some cases, antibiotics are needed. It is possible that this may be the case for you.
You may need to consult your doctor to determine if this is the case.
I hope this helps
