Hi,

Noted the history of polyps in colon on colonoscopy 5 years back.
This is probably not connected with diarrhea of recent origin.
It can be due to entero-colitis.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Get the stool and blood samples tests done.
If there is any evidence of an intestinal infection then get a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics and you will be fine.
Anyway it is time for review colonoscopy and biopsy along with CT scan of abdomen for review of polyps.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
