Get a stool report done

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

Considering the fact that he goes for 8-10 times a day and colonoscopy is normal

I would suggest you go for a stool routine microscopic and a culture sensitivity report

In the mean time give him some good probiotic twice a day

Await your reports for your husband

Regards
