Brief Answer:
Traveller's Diarrhea-aggravating IBS with Severe Debility

Detailed Answer:
Ans-Traveller's Diarrhea-aggravating IBS with Severe Debility

Hi,thanks for the updates,which highlighted the effects of the Traveller's Diarrhea.
You were well off for almost 3 weeks on the Florida vacation.
And as such I am confident that You would come out strongly from this Traveller's Diarrhea.

And that's why I again stress as follows-
Second Opinion from Physician, on Cardio-Vascular vitals to rule out any impending cardiac problem

Plenty of water with electrolytes to recoup the fluid losses,
Be on the liquids and limit your intake to small quantity each time
for 2-3 days time and this would reduce the IBS pains and frequency.
Continue with your symptomatic drugs,along with above instructions.

Bland Diet with rice soups without any spices.3-5 days.
Avoid fried for 3-5 days time
Butter milk supplements 2 per day
Banana Milk Shakes- 2 per day

ALERT
But be careful about the vitals,as for your advanced age,Traveller's Diarrhea,should not be neglected and major hiding illness should not misguide,as You should take Second Opinion with Your Physician and should have your ECG and review of any cardiac medicines and drugs-if need be,in cases you are suffering from any of the old age cardiac problems.

Hope this reply would help you to take care of yourself with your doctors and would make your vacation more enjoying.

Will appreciate Your writing of excellent review comments,to help needy patient visitors like you,at HCM services.


Wishing fast recovery and Joyful Vacation.
Keep me updated by a direct question if need be.

Good Day!!
