HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.

Diarrhoea for months indicates either Malabsorption , Long standing infections or inflammatory bowel disease like Ulcerative colitis or Chron's disease. Among these the possibility of Malabsorption seems high.

Before advising you for the tests that needs to be done I would like to go through the test reports done on you.

Also you need to avoid dairy food and non veg food.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards.

Brief Answer:
Need to get tested more.

Detailed Answer:
HI

I went through your ultrasound report and it is almost normal. It is just showing some stones but that shall not explain your symptoms.

I need to go through all of your reports so that there is no repeatition of the tests. But if in case you can't upload the test reports , you need to get the following tests done and revert back .

Complete Hemogram, Liver function test, Serum Amylase, Lipase, Colonoscopy, Stool for Ova, cyst, fat globules, Tissue tranglutaminase antibodies, Serum Triglycerides, Serum IgA antibodies, Fecal elastase and chymotrypsin.

Kindly revert back with these test reports.

Regards.
