Could The Loose Stools With Grains Be Due To Parasite Attack In Restaurant?
63yr old woman, typical American diet, usually have good stools, but have had very soft stools since July of 2013, around the time I ate soup & appetizer at a chain restaurant here in Phx, AZ area. Stools come out very urgently , are very soft, and grainy , and come out in short, narrow sections, about 2 to 3inches each. I seem to be more gassy than usual. Could I have contracted a parasite at the restaurant? Thank you.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having gastro-intestinal infection either bacterial or amoebic.
you might require one course of ofloxacilin, tinidazole combination course for 3 days.
Take light diet like curd, rice, buttermilk.
Take plenty of water.
Ok and take care.
