How Can Stomach Infection And Excessive Weight Loss Be Treated?
Hi I have floaty stool symptoms for almost 5 years now and I have noticed that when I have taken Metrozonide an infection tablet it goes away but soon as I stop taken it it comes back. Is there any medical treatment that can stop this problem. I m eating allot but not putting on any weight.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, As you already tried Tab. Metronidazole for infection, Kindly do stool culture after consultation. Kindly consult with surgeon to rule out Irritable bowel syndrome. You may require colonoscopy, CT abdomen and pelvis after consultation. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
