Question : Throughout the year I had problems with my abdominal area, which included diarheaa, intense stomachaches, and fatigue. I went to my doctor and then order a dozen test which include a blood occult test, a ultra sound, and six blood works. The doctor told me the test came back all negative, but the ultrasound found a small kidney stone. The symptoms are still here, so why do my symptoms keep coming back?
Brief Answer:
Probably Irritable bowel syndrome, follow the advice below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Kidney stones can cause abdominal pain.
Diarrhea itself can raise the risk of kidney stone
In my opinion your symptoms are not related to kidney stones.
Based on the fact that your examinations are all negative, I think that it can be an irritable bowel syndrome.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
- Take over the counter option for the diarrhea like Imodium
- Take prescribed antispasmodics which help to reduce the stomach pain and cramping
- Take daily probiotics
- Eat a plain diet. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and spicy food
- Eat small meals
- Exercise regularly.
Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

I took imodium one time, it made things worst. What are the name of probotics that I can try?
Brief Answer:
Probiotic use explained in details below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If Imodium did not work, you should not try to use it again.
As probiotics in my clinic l suggest probiotic supplements that contain Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. In different countries they have different brand names.
You can search them in the pharmacy with these names which are generic names.
I also suggest you to use yogurt, which is a natural probiotic.
Take care.
