Suggest Remedy For Grainy Stools

Irritable bowel syndrome
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for posting your concerns in the HCM.
Before coming to the recommendations part, I would want to know whether you have the following investigations done-
1. Routine stool examination
2. Serum TSH, HbA1c
3. Upper and/or lower gi endoscopy
If you have these with you please attach them in your follow up query.
Please also mention the following information-
1. Do you have a history of fever in last 15 days?
2. Do you have any other comorbidity?
3. Have you ever had blood in the stool? Is the stool bulky? Is the stool sticks to the pan and is difficult to flush?
Now, based on the information, I think you may have Irritable bowel syndrome. Causes of malabsorption like Coeliac disease, sprue etc.
Inflammatory bowel disease should also be ruled out.
Hence, you should consult a gastroenterologist too.
For the time being my recommendations are-
1. Fat restricted, high fiber, gluten free small meals at 4 hr intervals.
2. Plenty of oral fluid (3 to 4 lit/day)
3. Daily exercise for at least 30 min.
4. Avoid spices, carbonated beverages and junk foods.
For further information, you please write back to me in the follow up query.
Regards,
Dr. Kaushik
