Hello, I understand your concerns.
Well, 9 weeks should be more than enough for treatment if this was caused by bacterial infection. However, in your case there may be parasitic infection, crohns disease or ulcerative colitis and you need to do colonoscopy and stool analysis to exclude this and then it should be treated with specific medications. Questran should not be used if there is no adequate response on this.
Wish you good health.
