HI
I have understood your query.
Routine stool analysis will only tell you if the diarrhea is because of any infection or not. Since there are only 1-3 pus cells/HPF which is within normal limit and there is no intestinal parasite seen, so the diarrhea is non-infective and can be due to some other cause.
Kindly meet a gastroenterologist for further work up (for eg; malabsorption syndrome). If the physician suspects malabsorption syndrome a biopsy from the intestine would be required for a definitive diagnosis.
Thanks
