How To Treat Frequent Diarrhea And Weight Loss?
Hi, my name Izzy. I have no pain at all but I frequent diarrhea and I lost a lot weight. I ve visited a few gastroenterologist who put me through: colonoscopy, MRI s, etc. etc. Tests did not show anything no CRON, no ONCOLOGICAL problems nothing so they all suggest a micro surgery. It s very strange way of detecting the problem so hope some alternative medicine could help me without surgical intervention. I would value your opinion. Regards, Izzy Khavins YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
You may be having celiac disease (Allergic to gluten). Two blood tests can help diagnosing celiac disease.
1. Serological testing of elevated levels of certain antibody proteins
2. Genetic testing for HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 to rule out celiac disease
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
