Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
I am sorry to lean about your problem.
Since you are suffering from recurrent intestinal infections despite taking regular medicines, I strongly suspect the source of your food. Change the vendor from which you get your food. Also, ensure your food is properly boiled.
If your maid makes food, ensure she has clean hands and is herself not suffering from infection.
If despite all these measures, you are still having infection, you might be suffering from some other disease such us Inflammatory Bowel disease, Malabsorption syndrome or Tropical/non-tropical sprue.
These mimc intestinal infections but are due to other causes.
You might also be having abdominal Tuberculosis.
I'd strongly suggest you to visit a gastroentologist and get thoroughly examined and investigated to find out the cause.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
