Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking on HCM!
You are reporting to have sometimes constipation and sometimes diarrhea.
Your symptoms seems to be related with functional issues like IBS.
Otherwise at your case I would suggest to the follow exams:
- colonoscopy
- abdominal ultrasound
- fecal test for candida
Meantime I would suggest to :
- use plenty of water
- increase physical activity
- avoid unnecessary stress
- use vegetables and fruits
- use olive oil 3 teaspoons per day
- use fiber packs 2-3per day
- use simethiconeto reduce gas forming
- use stool softener if necessary
If colonoscopyand other exams will be normal than you should start IBS Treatment by your physician.
hope it was helpful to you!
