dear user

first i want to you not to get worried of this problem as it is common and the solution is simple....... ...your chronic diarrhea may has some causes and we can suggest the cause that matches your words.......you took medications and no result occurs this may be due to stress caused diarrhea as stress and anxiety cause abnormal movement of intestine and make diarrhea prolonged....you may administer foods that contain fibers causing increase diarrhea.......you may also get infection of the intestine and you can do stool culture to detect if there is micro organism causing that and if detected it will be very simple to treat it.....antidiarrheal drugs have no effect if underlying cause not controlled.........better than taking multiple antidiarrheal drugs you should take foods and drinks that will improve it such as rice soup and starch and tea with little suger and try to make rice in all your meals .........try also to stay away fibers containing food as vegetables and fruits as apples ..because fibers will increase diarrhea..........please get your worry out and follow these simple steps..........wish you healthy life
