General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, Thanks for asking. I understand your concern. The pain in your back seems to be due to abdominal bloating/ gases following your digestive problem.( unless you have some urinary symptoms- which indicate urine analysis too ) Alternating diarrhea & constipation suggests chronic bowel infection/ infestation ( specially amoebic)...where cahnged personal hygiene & Metranidazol help. You need to get your stool examined to confirm the cause. & get cause specific treatment. Along with it you should drink boiled water & look after personal hygiene to avoid reinfection- as looking at your MS straining for motion is not desired. Please consult your family physician. Thanks
