I have experienced bloating, gas and diarrhea for over 8 weeks and can not get any relief. I have been to the Dr. 3 times and was treated for geridia. I took stool samples in and they could not find anything. I have an appointment with a gastro Dr. but still have several day to wait until my Appt. I am getting scared about what might be wrong. Can you help me?

Hi,

Persistent bloating of the abdomen along with diarrhea could be due to irritable bowel syndrome. The symptoms include pain abdomen, diarrhea, bloating of abdomen, feeling of passing motion immediately after eating, constipation. It can be due to stress, food intolerance or infection. Kindly maintain a diary to check on which food is triggering the symptoms and those must be avoided.

Also:
* Drink plenty of water (minimum 2 liters of water per day)
* Avoid heavy large meals, take 5-6 small meals per day
* Avoid outside food or high fat or oily foods
* Avoid lying down or heavy work immediately after eating food
* Also, take symptomatic treatment with Pan 40 before breakfast and a probiotic like Sporlac DS twice a day

As you already have an appointment with your gastroenterologist, they might ask you to perform tests, such as endoscopy, or imaging studies or H. pylori tests. Accordingly they will suggest you the treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks.
