Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms

Going by description of your symptoms , you seem to be having diarrhoea for quite a long time. In the absence of blood in stool and absence of weight loss there seems to be no cause for concern.
In the meantime i would suggest you the following

1. Avoid Milk and milk products

2. Antimotility drugs like Loperamide will be helpful

3. Probiotic taken for duration of 2 weeks will be helpful

In the event of failure to respond you will require thorough Gastrointestinal and Endocrine evaluation .

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you

Take Care

Best regards
Dr Shobha Deepak
