Brief Answer:
have you tried imodium
Detailed Answer:
Hello and I am sorry you are having this problem.
I am glad that you took in stool samples. If there is an infection or parasites then they can treat that and your problems should clear up.
Hyoscyamine can take several days to work but is meant to relieve cramping and help decrease the diarrhea.
I suggest that you start on a probiotic like align daily. Dietary changes may also help by eating mainly rice, chicken or other meat that is not fatty and not fried and only cooked vegetables and fruits.
I would avoid beans and all dairy products until this gets sorted out.
I think you could try some imodium for the diarrhea for a few days but take care not to use it so much you get constipation.
Staying well hydrated is important so drink plenty of water and avoid all alcohol and caffeine.
I wish you the best,
Dr. Robinson
