Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Better to do a stool routine to rule out bacterial or protozoal infections. In such case antibiotics like metronidazole will be required. Prolac is most likely probiotic. You can give that. I would also suggest zinc syrup also. You can give rice with yogurt banana etc.
Thanks.
